July newsletter

Dear Jura friends and supporters,

As you might remember, the bank that holds the mortgage for our property has called in the loan. We have to pay the $15,000 that remains as soon as possible, or we will lose our building. So we have put together the SAVE JURA RAFFLE, with some fantastic prizes:

1st prize: A rare screeprinted artwork worth $700 (pictured at http://www.jura.org.au/savejura). This large framed Nosey/Possum original comes from the Jura poster collection. Produced in the Tin Sheds in the 1980s, it is one of only a small number of remaining prints. A fantastic opportunity to own a piece of Sydney's political and artistic history - and an inspiring vision of the future. The text on the poster reads: "when the wealth of the land is shared by all; when the tools belong to those who use them; then we will make a new world."
2nd: $500 worth of books from Jura Books.
3rd: $200 book pack from Glebe Books.
4th: $160 book pack from the Co-op Bookshop.
5th: Weekend for 2 in the heart of Byron Bay 1 minute from the beach and the main street, quiet leafy green treed setting. Includes light breakfast, dates negotiable.
6th: 8 dozen vegan cupcakes by Riseup Baking.
7th: A four course, Italian organic banquet for 6 people.
8th: 5 x $20 organic food vouchers from Alfalfa House.
9th: 4 cases of Guinness.
10th: 20 free pie and coffee vouchers redeemable at Funky Pies in Bondi.
11th: 60 political posters pasted up in the Sydney suburb of your choosing.
12th: A selection of radical t-shirts from Corporate-Greed.
13th: Hand-made jewellery.
14th: A large screen TV.
15th: Copies of each of the prize-winning entries to the Jura Poster Competition, signed by the artists.
