Dear Unite Community members,
Please read these three important updates and see what you’re able to get involved with. Travel and childcare costs can be covered for members wanting to attend actions, meetings and trainings.
Support Our West Hendon
Can you support people on the West Hendon estate who are going to court to have their homes repossessed?
The
Our West Hendon campaign desperately need volunteers at the moment to
door knock at the flats where residents have been called to court for
repossession order hearings.
We
also need a list of volunteers that are willing to come and support
residents at court - Willesden County Court, 9 Acton Lane NW10 8SB. The
cases are over a period from 17th to 25th of November
at various times morning and afternoon. We will be in touch with exact
times for the dates you are available - we especially would like people
who have knowledge of housing rights/law on these days but can provide
everyone with a briefing.
If you are willing to help you can get in touch with janette876@hotmail.co.uk or 07913999255 or Paulette pauletteasinger@me.com
Protest Friday: 10am@ IDS; 12pm @IPCC
- IDS Out!
10am, Friday 14th November, Chingford Assembly Hall, Station Rd, Chingford, E4 7EN
Iain
Duncan Smith, the detested Tory Work and Pensions Secretary will be
hosting a jobs fair at his constituency in Chingford from 9am. People
from all walks of life are planning to pay him a
visit to show him our opposition to everything he stands for. With ATOS
tests, Universal Credit, Sanctions Targets, Workfare, Ian Duncan Smith
is intent on destroying social security, driving misery, poverty and
exploitation.
- Support the Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign.
12pm-2pm, Friday 14th November, IPCC
Offices, 90 High Holborn, WC1V
The
demo is to demand that the Police Complaints Commission act after it has
dragged its feet for two years in its 'scoping exercise' to investigate
the truth on what happened on the picket lines
at Orgreave when the police attacked the picket lines and nearly 100
striking miners were arrested.
Community Organising Workshops
Saturday 6th
– Sunday 9th
December
Organising Our Communities
All Unite Community members and contacts are invited to attend four days of Community Organising Workshops in London.
Our members draw upon a wide range of life-experiences, traditions, skills, passions, talents and beliefs and these workshops showcase
what we’re all about. They provide a space to develop practical community organising skills, be creative, generate ideas, network and plan effective action.
This is a draft agenda, and we will confirm venues and workshops times as soon as possible. Please put the dates in your diary. We will send out registration details next
week.
