‘March for the Alternative’ - mobilise for 26 March

12th March 2011

The TUC organised ‘March for the Alternative’ demonstration on 26 March promises to be one of the biggest demonstrations in UK history. Make sure you mobilise your friends, workmates and family to come along. Watch the RMT video on why you should ‘Demonstrate against government cuts’.

The main assembly point will be at Victoria Embankment from 11am, but there are also a growing number of feeder marches - from Kennington Park, Malet Street, Lincoln’s Inn Fields, Highbury Fields, Islington, from Cambridge Circus (for LGBT marchers), and from the NUT (for members) - and even a call ‘don’t go home’ afterwards!

Model motion

This CLP will do its utmost to encourage and enable every Party member, including MPs and Councillors {insert AMs or MSPs where appropriate] to attend the “March for the Alternative” called by the TUC in opposition to the government’s drive to cut public spending on March 26th. We particular urge the Labour leader and NEC to attend and to do all they can to encourage others.

The motion has already been passed in several CLPs, including Truro & Falmouth - as reported in The Falmouth Packet.
