Coalition of Resistance Spring tour


Coalition of Resistance

Spring tour


It seems the government couldn't be happier right now. There's been 
a slow down in the pensions dispute and Miliband / Balls have 
declared that they wont reverse any spending cut or oppose a public 
sector pay freeze (see article by Lindsey German here) which has led
 to a hike in the polls for the Tories.

However the massive anger from millions of people we saw last year
has not gone away! The 500,000 that demonstrated on March 26th or
the million plus that went on strike in November still wan't to see the 
back of this government.

The unions who rejected the governments offer over pensions are set
to meet to discuss further action. Our job is to get the movement back 
on the streets.

This is why Coalition of Resistance is planning a national speaking tour, 
to discuss these issues and to draw new layers of activists into the 
movement.

The tour will run through February - March. We are currently working with
number of anti-cuts groups and Trades Councils to get more of these 
meetings set up across the country.
