TUC Rally and Lobby of Parliament against the cuts

Tuesday 19th October 2010
12:00pm to 3:30pm

Rally

The rally will start at 12:30, with doors opening at noon.

It takes place at Westminster Central Hall. Directions can be found here.

TUC General Secretary Brendan Barber will open the rally.

Other speakers are still being confirmed, but will include: testimony from service users hit by the cuts, experts who will outline the alternative, evidence of the impact of cuts on the wider economy, campaigners speaking out on why the cuts will hurt

The rally will finish shortly after 2pm.

Lobby of Parliament

From 2:30pm we will lobby Government MPs to press home our message that these deep rapid cuts will hit the vulnerable and threaten economic recovery.

It’s always best to make arrangements to meet MPs in advance as they may not be in Parliament that day or busy in meetings. Involving service users as well as public service workers will make our voice more powerful.

We’ll be adding more briefings on how to get involved in the lobby in the next few days.
