Lancaster and Morecambe Against the Cuts have released a poster for next Thursday’s (18th November) public meeting at Lancaster Town Hall.
Around 25 local people from diverse political backgrounds, trades unions and community groups got together to organise a protest group in protest at the sweeping cuts to public services being planned by the Con-Dem government. Around 300 people attended LMAC’s first event, a public protest rally in Dalton Square back in October.
Students from the 52,000-strong demonstration in London organised by the National Union of Students will be giving eye-witness accounts of their experiences, including what happened at Millbank Tower (an event mainstream media reported as a riot) at the meeting, joined by public sector workers and community campaigns.
The meeting will include speakers from the worlds of politics, the arts and media, the sciences and academia and from community campaigns and trades unions.
LMATC’s says its task is to build support for all those fighting back against cuts, and solidarity between these various fightbacks.
