PUT PEOPLE FIRST

Tell the G20 to ‘PUT PEOPLE FIRST’,
A March for Jobs, Justice and Climate, 28th March, London

In early April 2009 the leaders of 20 of the world’s biggest economies meet in London against a backdrop of recession and global financial crisis. On 28th March, thousands of people will march through London as part of a global challenge to the G20 leaders to ‘put people first’.

Trade Unions, environmental groups and charities have come together for this mobilisation and the message will be: -

Decent jobs and public services for all
End global poverty and inequality
Build a green economy

The RMT wants to publicise this event as widely as possible throughout our membership to ensure a huge presence on the march. Any body wishing to make their voice heard should contact the Branch Secretary, about carrying the Banner and expenses.

The march will start from the Embankment at 12pm proceeding to a rally in Hyde Park. Assembly will be from 11am outside Temple Tube on Victoria Embankment. The Hyde Park rally of speakers, musicians and comedians, will last for approximately two hours.

The TUC has appealed for volunteers to act as stewards on the day. If you would like to volunteer as a steward or have any questions about the event, please contact Alastair Gittins at a.gittins@rmt.org.uk or 020 7529 8281.

Publicity materials will be produced and circulated to branches in due course. See website www.putpeoplefirst.org.uk for further information.
