Victory for Lucy As She Launches New Campaign

This week 280,000 signatories celebrated a huge victory for 14-year-old animal rights campaigner Lucy Gavaghan, who persuaded supermarket Tesco to stop selling eggs from caged hens.

Eggcellent win: Lucy’s convinced Tesco and now has sights set on Asda and Morrisons

It’s taken just six months for Lucy to reverse change the policy of one of the world’s supermarket giants – and now she’s switching the focus of her campaign to Asda and Morrisons with a brand new petition.

In Lucy’s own words: The fact that Tesco, the biggest supermarket in Britain, have decided to stop selling caged hens’ eggs is proof that no matter how big the company, or how demanding the supply chain, the prospect of a free-range future is not impossible.”

Families of six ex-soldiers jailed in India vow they will never stop fighting for their release

Oxford Street  

Shoppers visiting London’s smoggy shopping mecca of Oxford Street will soon have a lot more space to move, following the Mayor of London’s announcement that the street will be pedestrianised.

Victory: Road safety campaigner Tom is delighted Oxford Street will be a “safer place”

It’s also a big victory for Change.org user Tom Kearney, who started a campaign to pedestrianise the area after he was hit by a bus on Oxford Street in 2009. He spoke about his long-running campaign to Nadia Gilani, explaining:

“I had never campaigned before but had a lot of support from bus drivers, which was encouraging. This is a massive victory for my campaign. I want people who arrive and leave Oxford Street to feel safe.”

Maxine + Chunky

And finally, Maxine Berry told the 500,000 supporters of her campaign for an animal abuse register about progress she’s made in lobbying MPs to support the move – and is asking supporters to contact new Environment Secretary Andrea Leadsom to make their voices heard.
