Wed 15th December
Linking to recent student protests - keep up the momentum and support all action against the cuts!
Meet at Newcastle Monument, Newcastle upon Tyne, 12 noon Wednesday 15th December 2010
Called by Tyneside Claimants Union
Come and join us for an afternoon of activity against welfare and housing benefit cuts and reforms.
The reforms and cuts to benefits affect millions of people. They are going to lead to increased poverty, homelessness, debt, overcrowding, and stress for many individuals and families – disabled people, pensioners, carers, single parents, unemployed workers, college students, and low waged workers are all affected. This attack on benefits drives down working conditions and wages for everyone, giving bosses greater authority to abuse their powers over employees.
Fighting these austerity measures is a form of self defence.
We welcome everyone to attend this protest whether you will be directly affected by these cuts and reforms or want to show solidarity with those who are.
Please bring your banners, placards, ideas and enthusiasm.
Please pass this on to anyone who might be interested
