Stop G4S campaign convergence
Stop G4S | 24.01.2014 17:34 | Anti-racism | Migration | Policing | London | Sheffield
11am-5pm, Saturday February 8
Quaker Meeting House, 10 St James Street, Sheffield, S1 2EW
G4S continues to hit the headlines not only with its incompetence but also its abuses of human rights in the UK, Palestine, South Africa and beyond.
But resistance to G4S is also gaining ground and the company is losing contracts with universities and companies as its track record of abuse is exposed. Campaigners are calling for corporate manslaughter charges after an inquest into the death of Jimmy Mubenga, who died at the hands of G4S guards, recorded a verdict of unlawful killing.
But there is still work to do. The Government still regards G4S prison services, in spite of the disturbances recorded there as ' the model for the future'. We need to expose this model as the fraud it undoubtedly is and all of G4S’ deeply harmful activities.
Activists from various Stop G4S campaigns are coming together for a UK-wide gathering in Sheffield on February 8.
Come along and share, network, strategise and plan how to build an even more effective Stop G4S campaign. The gathering is open to all who oppose G4S and want to work with others to Stop G4S from taking over public services for private profit while violating human rights.
