The People's Convention for the NHS | Saturday 11 April & End Austerity Now! National Demo | Saturday 20 June

The People's Convention for the NHS | Saturday 11 April
With a letter in today's Guardian, leading anti-austerity campaigners, trade unions and healthcare professionals set out the urgent need to defend our NHS against further privatisation and cuts. The People's Convention for the NHS will take place this Saturday 11 April at the Emmanuel Centre in London.

We are facing the biggest threat to the existence of the NHS since its foundation – the People’s Convention is essential in bringing together all those who are determined to defend it. Please support it.

You can book your free tickets for the conference here

End Austerity Now! National Demo | Saturday 20 June

Support for the People's Assembly national demonstration is growing. We want to send a clear message to the new government that they should abandon austerity policies and govern in the interests of the majority not the rich few. We're assembling the demonstration in the heart of the City of London, outside the Bank of England, to demand the people who created the problem in the first place should be the ones who pay for it. 

This weekend the National Union of Teachers passed a motion at their annual conference to back and mobilise for the demonstration. Coaches are already being booked from Manchester, Bristol, Newcastle, Cardiff, Swindon, York, Doncaster, Sunderland & more. We'll keep updating this page as they come in. If you can help organise a coach from your area, please get in touch.

A long list of supporters was published in the Guardian just after Osborne's budget.

We have leaflets available from the office and will have stickers and posters printed soon.
