The People’s Assembly Against Austerity has declared today, Tuesday 5th December, a national “Bonfire of Austerity”. Actions will be taking place across the country, including a blockade of London’s iconic Westminster Bridge, leafleting for public ownership of the railways, an “anti-austerity torch tour” in Manchester and a performative stunt in Cambridge in protest at the privatisation of student loans.
“This day will say loud and clear that we will not rest until the government abandons their austerity programme,” says an email sent to the thousands of supporters of the People’s Assembly.
The campaign is urging those taking part to send photos to office@thepeoplesassembly.org.uk, tweet using #BurnAusterity and share information on Facebook. Details on actions taking place, and how to get involved, can be found here on the People’s Assembly website.
