Tackling the crisis - 2 dates for your diary

Here is plenty of notice for 2 dates you must put in your diary!

With the poverty gaps and inequality widening in the UK even before the current crisis we need to demand a fairer and more equal society.

Let's be clear capitalism isn't working -
.
UNISON will be marching on the 28th March to Put People First - the unions will be at the front of the march joining thousands marching through London as part of a global campaign to challenge the G20, ahead of their 2nd April summit on the global financial crisis.

You can also see how Facebook users can get involved here: www.putpeoplefirst.org.uk/2009/02/putting-people-first-on-facebook/

Second date is 22nd April
Their crisis not ours campaign.
'Where's Our Bailout?
'On this day, the Government will unveil its Budget.
Let's make sure that the voice of the people is heard - I'm guessing here but I doubt we will hear much about any redistribution of wealth, investment in welfare rights because of the increased demand, increase in the funds to tackle child poverty which we are failing miserably in! - so let's demand a budget for a more equal society!

The plan is as follows:
12pm: We will line the route on Whitehall where the Chancellor will go from No. 11 Downing Street to address Parliament.
5pm: We will protest outside the Treasury.
7.30pm: We will hold a Question Time event chaired by John McDonnell MP and be addressed by a range of experts, including Graham Turner from the Left Economics advisory panel, activists and high-profile figures who will answer your questions as to how we got into this mess - and more importantly what we now do about it!

We will also be holding protests simultaneously in towns across the country.
Lets make sure the Government and the bankers hear us loud and clear

Ps we've been thinking of slogans for the day with lots of suggestions of their crisis not ours - we won't pay

Their crisis not ours - .....insert whatever u like really

But one I found in a scarf shop in London has the title of my favourite
"Are we humans? Or are we bankers?"
