March and Rally - Manchester for the Alternative

Sunday 2 October 12 noon
Liverpool Road (off Deansgate)


This year the Conservative Party are having their annual Conference in Manchester and the TUC is organising a march and rally to show opposition to the Coalition Government's disastrous policies of pay freezes, cuts and attacks on public services that are producing rising unemployment, cuts in living standards and stagnation. The march will also show the support for The Alternative. We need jobs, growth and justice for a sustainable future and this event will send that message loud and clear.

We call for the maximum support and are specifically asking unions and trades councils to:


- Encourage all your members to attend, a flier is available to download.

- Let us know if you are booking transport and we can give advice on drop off, parking and collection;

- To ensure that we have an effective and safe event we need a number of stewards and all affiliates are asked to nominate a number of stewards, please e mail contact details of potential stewards to NWMarch@tuc.org.uk

- Consider making a donation to help fund the campaign.


There will be provision for marchers with disabilities, including a short route.
