A fantastic weekend of resistance
This weekend saw a massive show of strength from the anti-cuts movement and a step forward in the fight against austerity with three major events.
On Saturday well over 600 delegates met in London at the Europe Against Austerity conference. The conference brought together representatives from many resistance and progressive movements from across Europe including the Greek teachers’ union, European Left Party, Sinn Fein, Die LInke, Nouveau Parti Anticapitaliste and European Attac network.
The conference endorsed a joint declaration agreeing continued coordination across Europe and a joint day of action in 2012. To see the full statement click here. Videos of the main sessions and a detailed report will be available on our website soon.
A very special thanks to all the volunteers and interpreters who helped on the day and in the run up to the conference.
On the same day in Glasgow, 15,000 people demonstrated against cuts at a demonstration called by the Scottish TUC. Tony Benn, Coalition of Resistance President, was the headline speaker at the rally.
On Sunday while the Conservative Party planned to continue its agenda of privatisation and drastic cuts to public services at its annual conference in Manchester, 35,000 people attended a demonstration outside called by the TUC.
This weekend marks an excellent springboard for building the action taking place on 30 November when Britain's three biggest unions have announced strike ballots over government attacks on pensions.
The pensions dispute is important for the whole anti-cuts movement, not just public sector trade unionists. It is our movement's best chance to strike a blow against this government's austerity drive.
There will be demonstrations across the country and we want students, unemployed, non-unionised workers, pensioners and every section of society to unite in the biggest show of strength possible.
