At their meeting this week The Haringey Alliance for Public Services agreed, after hearing from Paul Mackney, to support the Coalition and send delegates to the conference .

COR will be supporting and sending speakers to a number of important anti-cuts meetings in Gateshead, Bath, Northampton and Leeds.

Thanks both to Mark Thomas and Mark Steel who have agreed to link their own websites to ours.
Thanks also to Mike and Rebecca for their design ideas (see image left).
A number of artists, musicians, filmmakers and actors have initiated projects to support the work of the Coalition.

What you can do to help

Keep circulating the statement to get more support and send in new signatures – the bigger our network the stronger the resistance. Some groups have been doing street stalls to spread the word.
If there is no existing anti-cuts group in your area to join then please set one up. We will put you in touch with others and help with speakers
Pass resolutions in your union, anti cuts campaign, trades council, tenants group, backing the statement and supporting the conference.
Send us reports of cuts and local campaigns.
Donate to the coalition. Please make cheques out to Coalition of Resistance and send to 5 Caledonian Road, London N1 9DX.
(thanks to the Green Left for their £100 donation towards the conference costs)

The best update would have been a site where people could actually speak to each other.

I know that is dangerous. Lot’s of PC space.

As this place goes now. David Cameron. ‘Five more years’.

You just made that happen
