*No to Welfare Abolition*

*the national planning meeting*


 Manchester University Students Union, *Steve Biko Building, Oxford Road,
Manchester, M13 9PR, rooms MR1 and MR2*

Saturday 17th April

Arrive 11.30am for 12 noon start. Finish 5.30pm.


 Our rights to welfare are under attack from all sides. The Welfare Reform
Act passed last year is making it harder for single parents, unemployed
workers, people with illness, disabilities or impairments and carers to
get
by. High profile poster campaigns target 'benefit thieves', while benefit
fraud is at a low and bankers escape the recession with billions of
taxpayers' money.


 17 April is our chance for welfare and disability rights activists,
members
of unemployed workers' groups and trade unionists to get to together, build
links of solidarity and plan our struggles. If you are organising to defend
welfare or want to start doing so, please make sure people from your group
come along!


 Free lunch will be provided.
