Bristol - Save EMA, Walkout and Protest

AAtC | 05.01.2011 17:24

The condems are continuing their assualt on the workers, on the vulnerable and on education.
Currently they plan on scrapping EMA - We don't plan on letting it happen! Fight all the cuts!

Assemble 11am on tuesday the 11th at the fountains.
Currently they have EMA in their sights - a smallamount (around £30 a week) given to children from poorer backgrounds to help them stay on for sixthform/college. In some cases this makes the difference between being able to afford the nessacary expenses of an education or having to forfit it and go straigt into work, yet another attempt to keep education for societies 'elite'.

The vote on tuition fees passed, but thanks to our protests, almost didn't and cost the government half their majority, 3 resignaitons and their lowest approval so far. Scrapping EMA is even more controversial than scrapping tuition fees - we can stop this happening, all we have to do is make some noise and show that we care.

Assemble with us at 11am by the fountains, and show this government that Bristol will not be silent when the rich threaten our education.

Details tbc, so please post any suggestions!
