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:
“Man lives consciously for himself, but is an unconscious instrument in the attainment of the historic, universal, aims of humanity.”
—Leo Tolstoy (1829–1910)
“...a fixed aim furnishes us with a fixed measure, by which we can decide whether such or such an action proposed is worth trying for or not, and as aims must vary with the individual, the decisions of any two people as to the desirableness of an action may not be the same.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
“Our age is pre-eminently the age of sympathy, as the eighteenth century was the age of reason. Our ideal men and women are they, whose sympathies have had the widest culture, whose aims do not end with self, whose philanthropy, though centrifugal, reaches around the globe.”
—Frances E. Willard 1839–1898, U.S. president of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union 1879-1891, author, activist. The Woman’s Magazine, pp. 137-40 (January 1887)
