National day of action to stop and scrap Universal Credit

[Shechemite]

Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC) have called for a day of action this Wednesday (18th April) against Universal Credit.

There is to be a protest outside Parliament at 11am, as well as demonstrations across the country.

If anyone is available it would be great to have support.

I’m helping some comrades get to the London/parliament demo.

If anyone needs similar assistance I’m happy to help.

I've not been able to find out what the plan is for online action? I've had a look on Dpac, but not seen anything. Are there plans for a communication blockade, or anything like that?

I only found out about the protest yesterday. I’ll call a comrade to find out about the online stuff

Update on the online action is - I don’t know.

I can’t find anything on the website about it. Maybe email them?

 

[BristolEcho]

Yeah I'll ask on the Bristol Dpac page. I'm sure I read it somewhere. Thanks for asking.

I hope it's a good turn out.

I may need to work on my undercover reporting skills

Perhaps the least well taken selfie ever, but smoothed talked a copper into taking a 'I AM Challenging Behaviour' badge.

And it got covered by... The Canary. Hmm.

There was chaos outside PMQs today. Not that the mainstream media noticed. | The Canary

And our friends at RT are going to a do a thing on it in a couple of weeks.

Not sure what to make of that.

Even less media coverage than the 2016 Westminster Bridge blockade.
Invade Parliament, hold a street protest with M.P.s turning up, block Whitehall with wheelchairs and banners for as long as DPAC liked and no one says a dicky bird?
Except the dicky bird.
Opposition is still a moral imperative though.
Let's keep it up.
