Sunday 2nd October Protest the 2016 Tory party conference
Sheffield TUC is booking 2 coaches!
Join the People’s Assembly national demonstration at the Tory party conference, Birmingham Assemble 11:30am at Victoria Square, Birmingham, B1 1BD
The UK faces insecure employment, low pay, and a drive to privatise public services. There’s a growing housing crisis, the NHS is going through the biggest funding squeeze since its foundation, and the education system is overstretched. Local services have been shut down as huge budget cuts are forced on councils.
There is an alternative – investment in public services, in infrastructure, and in decent jobs for all. As the Tory party descends on Birmingham to hold its annual conference the People’s Assembly will too, in tens of thousands, and demand the alternative to austerity.
