Are you coming to London for the TUC March for the Alternative on Saturday 26 March?
Are you coming in a group with family, friends or colleagues?
Is this the first time you’ve been on a march?
Are you marching to protest about losing your job, or cuts in local services?
Regional and local media – newspapers, broadcast and online – are always on the lookout for a good local angle on what will be the important national story of the TUC March for the Alternative. If you’re coming on the march and you feel you have a good story to tell, why not approach your local media to see if they are interested in featuring you?
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:
We are now in a position to provide a bit more information about coach parking and drop-offs for the March for the Alternative. This is not the final plan and we are still working on a number of other locations, which we’ll publicise as we’re able to confirm them.
We are closely co-operating with the Passenger Transport Confederation – the trade body for coach firms – and in general it is up to your coach company to make the arrangements for parking and drop off. So if necessary please pass this information on to your coach company.
What with there being an app for everything these days, we thought there should be one for the March for the Alternative too.
It’s a basic toolkit for people coming on the march, with a key locations map, logistical info, background on the case against cuts and a live feed of updates from our Twitter account (though you don’t need to use Twitter yourself to read it).
Transport union the RMT have produced this film about the cuts, and the alternatives that we’ll be marching for on 26 March.Join RMT members and other unions on the March for the Alternative. Take the pledge to march with us.
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.
