Diary of Events Nov Dec 2017

Tuesday 21st November  Sheffield Peoples Assembly pre-budget protest     

5.30pm to 6.30pm outside Sheffield Town Hall. Please bring items for BIG Food Bank collection. ​ We are contacting local Trade Union Branches and activists to ask for your support – to help collect food and other essential items, to come along and run a stall, to speak about the chronic and acute problems affecting our communities –  whatever you are able to do. This event on 21 November, the day before Budget Day, ties in with similar collections and demonstrations across the UK. Oppose Universal Credit which is driving claimant families to Food Banks. No to austerity. Sheffield Needs a Pay Rise!
