People's Assembly - National Demonstration. June 26.#UnitedAgainstTheTories
#NotFitToGovern
#DemandANewNormal
#ToriesOut
#KillTheBill
Assemble 12 Noon - Portland Place.
March to Parliament Square.
This government has made it clear it wants working people to pay for the coronavirus crisis. Its pitiful offer to the nurses, the public sector pay freeze, lack of sick pay, while contracts are granted to their friends and cronies tells you that. Meanwhile there are further subsidies to companies while we are facing mass unemployment levels when furlough ends. Employers are going on the offensive, especially with notorious fire and rehire policies -but there has been widespread opposition to this including strike action.
There is visceral anger over the multitude of government failures during the pandemic, with one of the highest Covid death rates in the world. This government has failed us and this will be our first opportunity to take to the streets in opposition,.
The Tories are also attempting to use the cover of the pandemic to sneak through the draconian ‘Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill’. Due to reach its final reading in June this bill is an affront to democracy, an assault on our rights to protest and an attempt to silence dissent & opposition to the government. The Tories want to take away our rights to demonstrate for our rights! We cannot let that happen.
The key demands of the demonstration:
RENATIONALISE KEY SERVICES
DECENT HOUSING FOR ALL
SACK THE CORRUPT POLITICIANS
PROPERLY FUNDED, FULLY PUBLICLY OWNED NHS
END THE MARKETISATION OF EDUCATION
ACT NOW! TACKLE THE CLIMATE EMERGENCY
