Aims
HSG state that "We do not want to just become the new set of leaders!" The group aims to support local community struggles and hopes that other community groups will support them, this is the source of the word solidarity within their name. The group aims to practice, encourage and support self-organised struggles by ordinary people within Haringey, against bosses, local councils, or multi-national corporations. HSG also want to encourage other communities to organise themselves too, and Dave Morris a member of HSG has stated: "I want to see an independent residents' group in every street, a solidarity group in every workplace, and an anti-authoritarian/anti-capitalist organisation in every borough and town"

Famous quotes containing the word aims:
“In our large cities, the population is godless, materialized,—no bond, no fellow-feeling, no enthusiasm. These are not men, but hungers, thirsts, fevers, and appetites walking. How is it people manage to live on,—so aimless as they are? After their peppercorn aims are gained, it seems as if the lime in their bones alone held them together, and not any worthy purpose.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“A lie is real; it aims at success. A liar is a realist.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)
“Since he aims at great souls, he cannot miss. But if someone should slander me in this way, no one would believe him. For envy goes against the powerful. Yet slight men, apart from the great, are but a weak bulwark.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
