Everyone is welcome to attend this meeting which will discuss activity in September to build up for the two demonstrations in October.

So far we have a number of events planned to take place in September – we want to see hundreds of trade unionists and campaigners taking part!

Saturday 8th September – Stop the attacks on disabled workers – 12 noon, the High St, Birmingham City Centre by Waterstones.

This will be a soup kitchen stunt, organised by PCS Disabled members and also a mass leafletting session.

Saturday 22nd September – Placard Protest – 12 noon, the High St, Birmingham City Centre by Waterstones.
Stunt organised Birmingham UNISON. Write your placard then join the protest to the rally, led by the Clarion singers.
Saturday 22nd September – RALLY!!!! Austerity never works … March for the Alternative! 2pm, Council House, Victoria Square. Speakers include Lee Baron (Chair, Midlands TUC); Matt Wrack (Firefighters FBU union leader); Ian Hodson (Bakers BFAWU union president) and Caroline Johnson (Birmingham Unison).

At the meeting on Monday 20th August we need to put meat on the bones for other actions/stunts in September including leafletting stations and localities.

We encourage all unionists and campaigners in Birmingham to attend the meeting on August 20th to help build for the demonstrations in October, which should see the largest opposition to the coalitions failing austerity agenda yet.
