Since we’ve been running our “Pledge to March for the Alernative” action on the site, we’ve had over 3,000 pledges to march, and loads of great messages, telling us why you’re coming on the march.
We wanted to share a few more of the messages we’ve been getting, to highlight the many different reasons why so many are planning to join us on 26 March:

Social media is already playing a big role in mobilising for the March for the Alternative on 26 March. As unions reach out to their members through newsletters, emails and local meetings, supporters are also sharing news of the march with their own friends, families and colleagues online.
Many recent protests have been built using social media contacts, with a new wave of invitations going out every time someone signs up to come and tells their own friends.People might be cautious about coming along to an unfamilar event (and we’re hoping the march will attract many first time demonstrators) but if they see someone they know is going, it’ll give them much more confidence to come along themselves.
If everyone coming on the march were to tell their own social network contacts, we could make this huge. So please take a moment today to invite your own contacts, and help this thing to snowball.

You can see them in dozens of places around the web, thanks to the sites that have taken copies of our pledge widget (get yours here), but we thought we’d share just a few of our recent favourites with you here too:

TUC affiliated union the Chartered Society of Physiotherapists (CSP) have produced this great little video to promote the March For The Alternative.
The March for the Alternative saw up to half a million gather in London on Sat 26 March to protest the government's plans for fast, deep public spending cuts.
