[Campaignforrealdemocracy] Fwd: Lambeth People's Assembly

[Mark Barrett]

 *Lambeth People’s Assembly launched*

A ground-breaking inaugural meeting of the Lambeth People’s Assembly on
Saturday pledged to fight every cut being made by the Coalition government
and become a permanent rallying point which would link up with others around
the country. The 200 or so present were inspired by the example of young
people around the world, in particular the Real Democracy movement presently
occupying squares in Madrid and all around Spain.

A wide range of individuals and people from local organisations, including
disability campaigners, librarians, pensioners, transport and health workers
gathered in Lambeth Town Hall, recently the scene of an occupation by local
people in an effort to stop the council voting through a cuts package. They
voted to “establish the Assembly as a focal point for the struggle, to
reconvene on a regular basis and to link up with assemblies in other areas”.
