Day of Action publicity — Welfare Not Warfare!

Thanks to everyone on our contingent for the Day of Action on Wednesday 26 March!  It was so encouraging to be with everyone who came out. We’re sharing some of the widespread publicity — which shows the growing refusal of the government’s plans for terrible disability benefit cuts, while they are hiking up spending on the military budget.

Some of us could not go on the day, but people are doing lots from home, such as being active on social media, writing to your local paper (you can ask for your name to be kept private/withheld), and contacting your MP to say how you could be affected.   Lots of Labour MPs are saying they will vote against the government.
