Following a leaked email we received from a supporter, Save EMA is calling for the action as part of their campaign to save the education maintenance allowance (EMA), but are working with other anti-cuts groups such as UK Uncut and local political parties like Hammersmith Labour party. The action comes after the local Conservative run Council in their Budget on Wednesday night announced cuts to Sure Start centres, selling off 8 local building, closing homeless shelter and youth centres. At the event attended by many local residents a multiple amputee was evicted from the council chamber.
More details on the protests will be posted on www.saveema.co.uk as they are known.
The protests is organised by the Save EMA campaign, UK Uncut and the Local Hammersmith Labour party and thousands of Londoners have been invited to attend.
