A large demonstration organized by the People's Assembly in central London aims to protest government spending cuts and welfare reforms that disproportionately affect the poorest. The group forecasts attendance from trade unionists and campaigners, advocating against austerity measures that exacerbate poverty and mental health issues. Their spokesperson criticized government fiscal policies and proposed instead taxing wealth to better fund public services. The march, scheduled for June 7, emphasizes demands for improved education, welfare, and support for vulnerable communities, while addressing rising far-right sentiments in society.
The adherence to fiscal rules' traps us in a public service funding crisis, increasing poverty, worsening mental health and freezing public sector pay.
Real tough choices would be for a Labour government to tax the rich and their hidden wealth, to fund public services, fair pay, investment in communities and the NHS.
We face a growing threat from the far right, fuelled by racism, division, and failed politics. We need to see people's lives improve, we need to see the vulnerable cared for and an end to child poverty.
On June 7, we march for education, for our NHS, for welfare, for refugees, against hate, and for a society in which our children can flourish.
