Hi all, I thought pepole might be interested in these two events coming up next week. Alice<BR>
<BR>
<STRONG>The Cuts are a Feminist Issue<BR>So how do we organise against them?<BR>Monday 6 December 7pm to 9pm<BR></STRONG>Lucas Arms, 245a Gray's Inn Rd, WC1X 8QY<BR>nearest tube King’s Cross<BR>We know the cuts will affect women more than men, but why? And how should we fight back? This workshop and planning meeting will look at current and historical struggles – the hospital occupations of the 70s, nursery provision from Sylvia Pankhurst in the East End to local campaigns today, and the union and community campaigns for ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Langauges) provision. What can we learn from these struggles and what does this mean for how we organise now? As well as discussing these examples we will look at planning a workshop and writing a leaflet about women and the cuts that can be taken out and used as a tool in the anti-cuts movement. Open to all genders.<BR>For more details or directions call Bex on 0797 171 9797<BR><BR><STRONG>Feminist Fightback Film Night – T
