Red Tuesday - 28th March will see mass strikes against capitalist attacks in both Britain and France.
In Britain, the strike will be to defend workers pension rights, and will involve 1.5 million workers. It could be the largest strike here since the 1926 general strike.

There will be thousands of pickets lines in the UK. Most towns and cities will also see rallies. Even if your locality is not listed here, there will be a picket line at your local town hall, and probably school or leisure centre, etc.
