We won't pay for their crisis - March on Guildhall, Bath 22nd Nov

On Saturday 22nd of Nov, Bath Activist Network have called for a day of mass action against the deepening financial crisis.

Gas and electric bills are going through the roof. Unemployment is soaring, home repossessions are well up and more and more are falling below the poverty line. What is the governments response? They pile our money into the private sector to bail out their corporate buddies and OK massive increases in bills while watching us starve and freeze.
We didn't ask for this crisis, and it is not our fault, so why should we pay for it?
join us on the 22nd to march on Guildhall and kick start a campaign demanding -

*Decent council subsidies on energy bills
*Bailiffs and repossession men out of our communities
*Popular control of the banks our money bailed out
*Protection of jobs and benefits
*Affordable food and housing.

We are not just in this to wave placards and chant slogans, we are organising to win! We want to kickstart a campaign of protest and direct action which can make our demands a reality.
We can only win if we work together, so we are calling on all radicals, activists, anarchists, pensioner groups, tennants groups, claimants groups, single parents, disbled rights groups and everyone inbetween to join us.

Assemble at 12.30pm, on Saturday the 22nd of Nov @ the Abbey Courtyard, Bath.
