Coalition of Resistance Europe Against Austerity Conference – 21st October

Across Europe millions of people are taking to the streets to demand an end to austerity. There is an urgent need to link up these struggles.

This will be an important opportunity for trade unionists and anti-cuts activists to discuss plans for future common action. The conference is nearly full so please us know immediately if you would like to attend as a delegate from Birmingham Against the Cuts or contact them directly. The provisional agenda for the day is available here.

They will be livestreaming this event from our website for those that cannot make it.
