Big People’s Assembly rallies and public meetings have been taking place in the run up to the demo. Here’s a report from some of them:

West / North Yorkshire People’s Assembly: The first West / North Yorkshire People’s Assembly took place on the 3rd September and was attended by over 250 people. Speeches were given by Liz Kitching (Hands Off Our Homes), Debbie Wilkinson (Unite Yorkshire Ambulance Service), Dr John Puntis (Keep Our NHS Public) and Owen Jones (author and columnist). The speeches were followed by contributions from the floor. The venue was packed to capacity, and there was an inspiring mood of shared purpose, anger and defiance. This event marked the launch of the People’s Assembly here in West Yorkshire.

Merseyside People’s Assembly: Over 600 people cramed into the Adelphi Hotel on 5 September for the launch of the Merseyside People’s Assembly. Full report here.

Sheffield People’s Assembly: 300 People attended the Sheffield People’s Assemblyon Saturday. The event set out a plan of activity toward the demo and the 5 Novemberday of civil disobedience.

Newcastle People’s Assembly: Saturday’s People’s Assembly was bigger, broader and more representative than any previous anti-austerity meeting in north-east England. Attended by 500 people, the day of rallies, workshops and entertainment served as a platform for future action, as well as providing space for valuable discussion and dialogue. Hundreds of people – representing a wide range of campaigns, trade unions and political backgrounds – gathered at Northern Stage, in Newcastle’s city centre, to plan the resistance. They shared experiences of the effects of austerity, exchanged ideas and developed the connections that can shape a more powerful co-ordinated opposition to cuts.

Remember, Remember, 5th November…

At the People’s Assembly in June we launched a call for mass civil disobedience on 5 November. At the TUC last week, congress unanimously passed support for theNovember 5 day of action. On this day we aim to organise mass direct action in every town and city. More details available soon. If you are planning something please let us know.
