Coalition of Resistance Spring Speaking Tour

Coalition of Resistance Spring tour this is from the Coalition of Resistance: It seems the government couldn't be happier right now. There's been a slow down in the pensions dispute and Miliband / Balls have declared that they won't reverse any spending cut or oppose a public sector pay freeze which has led to a hike in the polls for the Tories. However the massive anger from millions of people we saw last year has not gone away! The 500,000 that demonstrated on March 26th or the million plus that went on strike in November still want to see the back of this government. The unions who rejected the governments' offer over pensions are set to meet to discuss further action. Our job is to get the movement back on the streets. This is why Coalition of Resistance is planning a national speaking tour, to discuss these issues and to draw new layers of activists into the movement. The tour will run through February - March. We are currently working with a number of anti-cuts groups and Trades Councils to get more of these meetings set up across the country.
