While the MPs are on their holidays, many of those campaigning against austerity and cuts will still be here planning protests and demonstrations against the Tory-LibDem Government, and opposing cuts being implemented by Southwark Council.
We need your help over the coming weeks to distribute leaflets advertising these events – if you can help, email us at southwarksos@gmail.com or better still, come to the Southwark SOS or the Oct20 Mobilising meetings shown below. We can send someone to your next community, campaign, or trade union branch meeting to tell people what is happening, and why.
