Email to radical left European groups in the UK - Europe against austerity – march in London 21 June. Dear friends, As you will know, the Peoples Assembly has called a major national demonstration and free festival in London ‘No More Austerity, Demand the Alternative’. The Greece Solidarity Campaign (a founding signatory of the Peoples Assembly) would like to invite all European groups and individuals from the radical left in the UK to work with us in building this event. The demonstration is being organised into sections with different themes. One of these is Europe Against Austerity. We’d welcome your ideas on how we can work together on mobilizing and to make the Europe Against Austerity bloc as big, lively and noisy as possible, so that this is visably a key theme of the event. The following text is a suggestion of what can be used to circulate to our supporters and networks. Please adapt as you see fit. The Peoples Assembly – backed by the TUC, Unite, the teachers, campaigns to save the NHS, peace campaigners and many others - have called a national demonstration against austerity on 21 June. thepeoplesassembly.org.uk/national_demo_21_june The Peoples Assembly has over 30 000 supporters and over 100 branches across Britain. It unites all those who fight austerity in the UK. No one in the UK voted for austerity. In Greece the EU, World Bank and IMF are imposing austerity through dictat, in Italy they are on their third unelected president to push through austerity. Across Europe austerity is being imposed at the expense of democracy, and Greece shows that they are prepared to do this with ruthless force. Our current political leaders share a vision of Europe: more work for less wages, and less on education, spending, welfare, pensions per person. Cameron and Merkel are equally clear on this. Austerity is an attack on us all. London is the home of the City, who set up the crooked loans and the mass export of debt that caused the banking crisis globally. The money that flows through the City of London is from the profits made across Europe and the rest of the world. One major theme of the June 21 march and festival is to challenge the rise of the European right. London and Britain is a multiracial and multicultural place. The people of Britain come from every corner of the globe. Now is the time for all those who want to defend that fact and to get the City of London off the backs of the majority of the planet, to show their strength and purpose. Please circulate this to all your friends and contacts. Bring your banners and join us with the Europe Against Austerity banner. So lets stand together with all those who battle for a secure, free and peaceful future and a better Europe for all, and march in London on June 21 to demand the alternative. Look out for the Europe Against Austerity banner and come and join us. If you can help publicise June 21 or making the Europe Against Austerity section of the June 21 march as loud and colorful as possible, please contact Rachel Newton on rachelnewton144@btinternet.
