Take action now to defend the Welfare State.
We will not pay for their crisis.The National Day of Protest Against Welfare & Housing Benefit Cuts on 15th December 2010 aims to begin by focusing on the Housing Benefit cuts so why not organise a sit in, protest or demonstration in your local Civic Centre or Town Hall.
How about a Christmas party, gather up some friends, take a ticket and bring cake, food to share, crackers, musi...c and kids presents. Make a day of it, why not apply for Council Housing whilst you're at it or clear up that nagging benefit issue. Then collect contact details to organise bigger and better events in the New Year.
Make sure to support people present who are in emergency need of help to access it and be treated properly. There's no rush after all, you can easily stay late, or even all night.
Alternatively hold a public meeting, or even just leaflet your local Council offices. It all counts and this is just the beginning. If you are organising an event please contact us asap to be added to the page.
London benefit claimants will be attending and supporting the Housing Emergency Demonstration at Downing Street, 12.30pm. Bring cardboard boxes, sleeping bags etc and create a cardboard city opposite Downing Street. then onto Trafalgar Square at 3pm for Christmas fun under the tree.
