Demonstration against the cuts
A reminder too that the NUJ is backing a march and rally taking place in Manchester on Sunday 29 September to coincide with the Conservative Party conference. We shall be taking our banner and volunteers are needed to carry it.
Supported by the TUC and the People’s Assembly Against Austerity, tens of thousands of people are expected to travel from around the country to show their feelings about cuts to jobs, services and benefits and in support of the NHS.
A special train is being laid on from London, while Brighton Trades Council has organised a coach from Brighton - £10 waged £2 unwaged. For a place on the coach, book here http://brightonnhscoach-es2.eventbrite.co.uk/?rank=1#.
The march will assemble at Liverpool Road, near the Museum of Science and Industry, at 11.00 and at 12.30 the march will set off via Deansgate and John Dalton Street for the rally in Whitworth Park, opposite the Manchester Royal Infirmary, at around 14.00.
