ALERTA ANTIFA: DEFEND BRADFORD THIS SAT @theqeld @JLRFB @chunkymark #ANTIFA #edl

EMERGENCY CALL-OUT IN BRADFORD THIS SATURDAY. ARRIVE MIDDAY OR EARLIER.

Coach Oxford to London - 29 Jan - Anti-cuts, Save EMA

There's a national protest against fees and funding / EMA cuts in London this Saturday - it was mentioned at the OEC meeting that Oxford Right To Work have organised a coach but will have to cancel it unless more people use it. People seemed very up for getting some good action done. Should be good in its own right, and it should give us food for thought re. tactics for March.
It's £5 waged, £10 unwaged, leaves St. Giles at 9.30 and leaves London (Malet St. area) at 4.30. Read more >>

Tory cuts... and Labour cuts (Oxford)

The Tory-led County Council plan to close nearly half (20) of our local libraries. A similar number of youth centres are to be closed down, with over £4 million cuts to youth services announced. This is an attack on the standards of living that we have fought for over decades of struggle.
