March for the Alternative, March 26th 2011


The cuts being perpetrated by this government threaten millions of people with the risk of unemployment and millions more with the loss of vital services, such as schools, health care, fire brigade and libraries. Furthermore they threaten the entire country with the risk of a double dip recession which will destroy the chance of alternative employment. Bankers will take our homes away.

If the Trades Union Congress demo on March 26th has over a million people in attendance, the political climate in this country will be fundamentally changed. Those who support cuts will have far less credibility. Those who oppose them could be greatly emboldened.

If you and your colleagues participate in this huge show of strength, it will give you a sense of pride in the enormous power of the trades unions. It will change you forever. We are the only economic power significant enough to challenge the rule of the bankers. Don't let us leave a world of poverty, unemployment and pollution for our children to inherit. Be part of the fight for a civilised future.

Join the TUC demonstration. Bring your friends and family.

As far as I know places on official trade union coaches are rapidly filling up. I would still encourage you to get yourself to this event. Assemble Victoria Embankment at 11 am for the march to Hyde Park.
