BAFF campaigns - issues - achievements

Every one of the following recent or ongoing campaigns has had active BAFF input of one kind or another. The Federation led on some issues, and sometimes has been very much in support of, or in cooperation with, others. Some highly effective campaigns have been led by individual BAFF members with open but low-key support from the Federation, including research assistance and the obtaining of legal advice.
