The South and Eastern Region Trades Union Congress Executive Committee is calling for your active support for street level action in every community on Saturday 15 January – organised by you!
The challenge is to counter the government’s lies about the economy, spending on public services, the falsehood that deep cuts to public services are essential, and that cuts are somehow fair.
Millions of media pounds and constant political repetition has given the public a diet of lies and half truths – so the Executive Committee believes we have to use our considerable human resources (our members and our commitment) to talk to our communities and win an understanding about the depth of the government’s political attack on working people.
The invitation is to all affiliates, trade union branches and trades councils is to make your voice heard locally on Saturday 15 January.
Can you organise a street meeting, workplace activity, a street stall, a demonstration, a media-worthy stunt, community leafleting, press release, street theatre – or any kind of event that will attract people to talk to you, that will attract local media coverage, and that will ensure that our neighbours understand that cuts are not the answer – and we can make a difference.
We are leafleting against the cuts at Norwich City Football Ground this Saturday, 15th January as part of the TUC day of action. Anyone wishing to help should meet outside the Riverside Leisure Centre (opposite Carrow Road football ground), Norwich at 1.45pm – leafleting supporters until 3pm.
There are other events planned in towns and villages all over the Eastern Region - see the SERTUC website for more info.
