Come and get involved in the build up to CAAN's meeting with Scottish ministers! People from anywhere can help - we've got various ideas, and if you have new ideas please add them below. The only kind of bad action is inaction! Reply to this thread and tell us how your own campaigning is going, we know lots of you have been writing in 
The Scottish Porn law - what you can do to help CAAN.
CAAN Scotland is quickly gaining momentum in protesting against the extreme pornography law in Holyrood.
COMMUNICATION
Following an article in the Scotsman where CAAN Scotland was the sole voice speaking out against the upcoming law, we have opened communications with the Sexual Offenses Team dealing with the law in the Scottish Parliament. Hopefully we will be entering into talks with them next month, so keep those letters and emails coming! You can email them at:
criminaljusticeandlicensingbill@scotland.gsi.gov.uk CAAN Scotland is also producing a flyer for massive distribution by the end of the month. If you would like some flyers to hand out at your place of business, club, pub, information centre, university or even on the street, please get in contact with us and we'll post some to you when they're ready. We want these to be everywhere! Donations for the purpose of printing gladly accepted.
CAMPAIGN
CAAN Scotland is also starting a SEND A KINKY BOOK TO AN MSP campaign. If they're going to ban us from consensual acts, they may as well know what it is that we do. Kenny MacAskill has been sent a copy of "When Someone You Love is Kinky", and we have a number of copies of "Dances with Werewolves" that we will be sending to MSPs and other people of interest in Scottish Parliament. We can send one for you if you contact us at info@caan.org.uk with your details - title your email SEND A BOOK. If you would like to send another kinky book to an MSP, most websites have several titles available, and some may even qualify for free shipping. Keep in mind that your name and address woud probably appear on the invoice slip inside, though you can also send the books yourself. Send your kinky books to:
MSP [name here], Scottish Parliament, Edinburgh, EH99 1SP
or
Sexual Offenses Team, Scottish Government, Criminal Justice and Licensing Division, Room GW.15, St. Andrew's House, Regent Road, Edinburgh, EH1 3DG
Make sure to send a personal note with the book, saying "Before you ban consensual acts between adults, perhaps you should know what it is you're banning." CALL FOR ARTISTS
CAAN Scotland is also interested in hearing from artists who would like to get involved with protesting against the law. Whatever your medium is, we're interested to see what your response is. Please get in contact with us to find out how you can help by doing what you do best: art.
HOW EVERYONE CAN HELP
Everyone in Scotland should write to their MSPs, both constituency and regional. You can find out who your MSPs are on writetothem.com or at the Scottish Parliament .
You can also visit your MSP's constituency surgery. Details on where and when your MSP's surgery is can be found on their contact details on the Scottish government's website (listed above), or on their personal webpage. Tell them you don't want consensual acts banned. Ask them what their stance is on the law, and try to engage them in debate. Everyone in the UK can write to contact address (same email as above) with your views on the law. Tell them you support CAAN and you do not want consensual acts banned. Every letter counts! If you would like to distribute flyers, submit art to be used by CAAN for promotional material, or would just like to help anyway you can, please contact us at c-a-a-n@live.co.uk Attention: Scotland
