Good Evening Revleft!
After the great demonstration on the 29th against the cuts, someone else has been planning a 24 hour demonstration, an occupation of Hyde Park (Just like Tahir square. We're hoping for a huge turnout and currently contacting several unions and socialist parties to get involved.
The demonstration will take place on the 26th March at Hyde Park, London and will be from 4:00pm until 5:00pm the following day. Obviously, no need to stay for the entire duration but that's what we're hoping for.

WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE 26TH MARCH?
In response to the government public sector spending cuts the Trade Union Congress along with a variety of Trade Unions and organisations are marching through London to protest against government spending cuts which will damage public services and put more than a million out of work. They will hit the vulnerable, damage communities and undermine much of what holds us together as a society.
The TUC are unfortunately working closely with the police to enforce strict rules on how we can protest on the day, even going so far as to employ stewards that liaise with a police communications HQ.
We will protest how WE see fit, we don’t need the permission of the TUC or anyone else.
Therefore we propose that rather than a typical A to B march with the same boring speeches that we actually take action for our communities and make a stand in London.
We think that people should take what action they deem is necessary for themselves. After all it is YOUR struggle.
We call for the TUC to endorse a general strike along with other trade unions to show not only fight austerity measures being taken in this country but to show solidarity with other struggles worldwide.
Rather than getting back on the coaches after a non event day, stay in London with us for 24 hours and lets see what we can do? Hyde Park will serve as one occupied territory, from which we can support various actions across London.
The idea of the occupation is to reach out to layers of trade unionists and others who would otherwise just get the coach home.They share our view of the TUC leadership’s gesture politics but aren’t yet ready to occupy buildings or break the law.
Rather than take the coach home feeling like nothing has been achieved lets see what happens?
Join us, 5pm 26th March till 5pm 27th March (or Longer?)
