Europe Against Austerity Action Conference | October 21
By Coalition of Resistance
Come to London:
Join the TUC demonstration on
Saturday 20 October and the
Europe Against Austerity Action Conference on
Sunday 21 October
On Saturday October 20th the British Trades Union Congress is holding a
march against austerity ‘For a future that works’. Hundreds of thousands of
peoplewill take to the streets of London to oppose the cuts being forced upon
them.
The Coalition of Resistance will be at the heart of this demonstration with its
message of ‘No Cuts’. The participation of delegations from across Europe will
hugely strengthen the significance of what will be a massive mobilisation.

In 2011 our organisation initiated the Europe Against Austerity conference
which issued a call for joint action against austerity throughout Europe.
More than 600 people attended the conference in October 2011,
with 150 coming from other parts of Europe. Since that conference
we have seen big struggles in Greece where there have been many
days of general strike action and in Spain where the Asturian miners
have inspired the support of millions throughout Europe.
The nature of the onslaught on the peoples of Europe means
that such actions will continue and escalate.
Further solidarity work and coordination is now urgently needed.

We appeal for anti-austerity organisations throughout Europe to come to
London on 20th and 21st October to participate both in the London
demonstration and to meet the following day to discuss common action to
turn back the tide of austerity. We must build co-ordinated action to enable
victories against a common enemy.
We are already receiving pledges of support for these events,
from OLME and Syriza in Greece, from trade unions and anti-austerity groups in
France, Belgium and Spain, and from the European Left Party Executive.
Please help us build on this by joining us in London in October –
to show that the strength of the European working class movement is in its
unity and solidarity.
