[matilda] SWAN demo n publicity

[Mr Jase Malgod]

 From D. 

Help needed
At Mondays nights meeting I outlined what SWAN is and that we needed help, 
while a few gracious people offered to help, but the overall response to 
help a campaign that can potentially help hundreds of thousands of the most 
vulnerable people in the UK was generally under whelming. However, we still
desperately need help: I am hoping to bring down a number of posters tonight 
that will need fly posting and urge people to help us as we cannot 
physically do so, we also hope to make a banner for the protest, (see below) 
and need advice on material, where to get them, etc. 

Btw, did anyone find my glasses, I left them on the table in the Rutland

To help promote our conference (see below) and to highlight the unjust and 
cruel cuts amd changes the govt is proposing to disability benfits. 
Sheffield Welfare Action network (SWAN) is inviting concerned people to a 
peaceful protest on Sat 8th October outside the Town Hall (12.00 onwards). 
We will be leafleting about the conference and raising the issues to the 
general public 

Sheffield Welfare Action Network 

The government is planning to make some of the biggest changes in welfare 
provision for sixty years, particularly that of disability benefits and 
specifically Incapacity Benefit (IB). Sheffield Welfare Action Network 
(SWAN)is setting up a national conference (15th October, 10:30 to 4:30, 
Sheff Hallam SU) in Sheffield to highlight these changes and the present 
state of disability welfare and to facilitate the setting up of a national 
framework to campaign against these punitive changes.

If possible we would like people to come dressed in Victorian dress, to 
highlight the 19th Century thinking behind the proposals, 

No Return to the Workhouse!
