Dear SSOS anti-cuts campaigners,

I hope you will be able to come to the SSOS Organising meeting this Wednesday. (7pm - 8.30pm in Room L252 at South Bank Uni London Road building SE1.)

We have four invited speakers from local groups to give an outline of the campaigns launched to stop cuts to:

    •    Disability Living Allowance –cuts to benefits entitlement
    •    Southwark Fire station – now definitely named for closure
    •    Nurseries  – redundancies of qualified staff; increasing changes to parents etc.
    •    Pensions –the latest attack on pensions is being unveiled this week

Please make every effort to attend.
