WE ARE THE POOR:
BUILDING A MOVEMENT TO END POVERTY, LED BY THE POOR
Come and learn more about the plight, fight & insight of the poor -
From Breadline Britain to the Shack Dwellers of South Africa

Keynote Speaker - LINDELA FIGLAN,
Chair of Abhlali baseMjondolo (South African Shack Dwellers Movement)

Lindela will be discussing organising poor people’s campaigns. AbM is the largest radical poor organisation in post-apartheid South Africa, their key demand is ‘Land & Housing in the City’. They fight to end forced removals, evictions, for access to education & the provision of water, electricity, sanitation & health care, as well as bottom up popular democracy. In the aftermath of the Marikana massacre he will discuss how we make another world possible.

He will be joined by activists from local poor people's campaigns such as Cardiff Homelessness Solidarity, Disabled People against Cuts & Cardiff's popular Unemployed Daytime Disco for a roundtable discussion on how poor people can not only organise their own struggle, but offer direction and leadership to the whole of society.

Free admission. All welcome.
