London 27 Nov....

See below for a message from the organisers of the Coalition of Resistance conference (Saturday 27 November, 10am-5pm, central London). The coalition was launched in August following the publication of a statement from Tony Benn and many others, calling for a broad-based coalition of resistance to cuts and privatisation.

'The conference is filling up and it is important for people to book places now. We have managed to aquire extra space for the conference and there will be a wide range of workshops and plenary sessions.

One of the largest will be on organising against the cuts in your locality and we will be hearing from many of the new anti-cuts groups springing up around the country.

Just been forwarded this, i know its a student thing from oxford but you know ...

Dear all,

the Oxford Education Campaign (a student group campaigning against HE cuts/reform) have called for a peaceful demonstration on Thursday in response to Vince Cable's visit to speak at Oxford University (at 5pm in the Exam Schools on the High Street).

The schedule is:

3.30 pm - assemle in Cornmarket Street, opposite Boswells
3.45 pm - walk down Cornmarket Street, then left on to the High Street to the Exam Schools
4.00-4.30 pm - arrive at Exam Schools
4.30-5.30 pm - peacefully demonstrate outside the Exam Schools

I'm sure OEC would appreciate our support.

All best,

Stuart
 
WOMEN AT THE CUTTING EDGE


Saturday 30 October 11am-5pm
The Arbour, 100 Shandy Street, London, E1 4ST (tubes: Mile End or Stepney Green)

Open to people of all genders.

On 20 October the ConDem government's "Spending Review" will detail enormous cuts in public services. We are already feeling the impact of earlier cuts many effected by Labour; nurseries and libraries are closing, jobs are being lost. As the government "austerity drive" steps up, the reality is that cuts will hit the lives of all but the wealthiest. In many cases women will be hit the hardest with recent reports estimating that women will suffer 72% of the tax and benefit cuts.

Whether you're a feminist, an activist, a trade unionist, someone affected by the cuts, or involved in fighting the cuts in your college, community or workplace, or just interested in how the landscape of the welfare state is changing, Feminist Fightback invites you to join a day of discussions and networking. We want to put these cuts in a political context, link up, and share ideas and skills as we plan to fight them together.

Participatory workshops on:

* What's going on? Mapping cuts and campaigns
* Who do the cuts affect? Why are cuts a feminist issue?
* What does it mean? Demystifying the "economics of the crisis"
* What do we want? Fighting within and against the state

For more information on the day (including more detailed information about workshops) please see www.feministfightback.org.uk , email feminist.fightback@gmail.com or call Laura on 07971 842 027 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting 07971 842 027 end_of_the_skype_highlighting.

Free creche available: please email feminist.fightback@gmail.com to confirm a place

http://www.cambridgeshireagainstthecuts.org.uk/2010/10/fighting-conference-20th-november.html

10.30 am - 4pm Saturday 20th November
Bailey Rooms, Castle Court, Shire Hall, Castle St, Cambridge, CB3 0AP

"George Osborne’s spending review, already dubbed the ‘Bullingdon Budget’, is a full frontal assault on the living standards of ordinary people. If we allow it to be implemented we will see even greater disparity between the poorest to the richest in society and millions more people will be thrown into poverty.

We cannot let this happen. If we are to stop it we must organize locally and nationally to ensure that cuts are not implements in either the private of the public sector. We must not be blamed for a crisis we did not create. Together we must fight to make the bankers and millionaires pay for the mess they have caused.

Cambridgeshire Against the Cuts will be holding a open conference on 20th November for all of those who want to fight cuts to jobs, services, pay, pensions and benefits."
 
Hackney Council Demo Against the Cuts (Tonight 5.30pm 27th Oct Hackney Town Hall)
Demonstration outside Hackney Town Hall in Mare Street E8 from 5.30pm onwards
 
Vince Cable just pulled out of the oxford speech due to advice from the police - apparently, altho the police denied they had anything to do with it!
 
I was thinking of starting another resource type thread, one solely for charts, tables, figures like this:

welfare1.jpg


Spending as % of GDP
deficitgdp.jpg


Worth it?
 
yes BA, I had thought about a similar thread just with links to resources like the PCS alternative to cuts and tax research uk blog, perhaps these things could be included as well. I spent a good few minutes last night finding the GDP/debt graph you've posted there, wandering through likely threads and also saving other graphs that might be useful in my discussions elsewhere.

oh, and what about the Hackney one last night?

actually, you may mean the anti-cuts demo outside the Town Hall (see #403). I'm in the borough next door, we're slowly starting to build cross-borough links, but I've heard nothing on the HAPS network yet.
 
------

Have you seen that already today three Vodafone stores in Leeds have been shutdown http://ow.ly/i/4XUV

We're calling for the shut downs to spread. But we're also calling for another day of action in London on Saturday. Plan is to shut down as many as possible. We need a few hundred people. Trying to rapidly mobilise. Could you push it to your networks? Would be awesome if you could. I reckon if Saturday goes well we'll have some real momentum behind us.

Here's the tweetable link to the call out http://bit.ly/axxqg0

Here's the tweetable link to the facebook event http://on.fb.me/98ULJ2

We're using the hashtag #UKuncut

Any work you can do to push this would be incredible.

Thanks so much!

'After Vince Cable pulled out of talking in Oxford after hearing of a student demo against him today, the demo has gone ahead - and it's huge! I've just heard reports that there are 'over a thousand' people protesting, and that protestors have broken through police lines, and out on to Oxford high street.

That's all I've heard but I hope people who were actually there can update us with more detail and pictures very soon.'
