Notes
1. Brighton people's assembly are subsidising travel
(through donations and through using group tickets) to get from Brighton to
London. This is to help individuals and families on low incomes to still are
able to attend the event which would otherwise be cost prohibitive.
Suggested donations are £9+ per ticket (this would normally cost over £16 so I think it's a pay what you can afford sort of deal)
We will also be offering subsidised train travel from Worthing to Brighton for those on low incomes to ensure this event is accessible to everyone.
We are hoping to get some financial support from unions but this isn't finalised yet.

The People's Assembly is
organising a major national demonstration to tell the new government: END
AUSTERITY NOW
Assemble: 12pm, Saturday 20 June
Bank of England (Queen Victoria Street)
London (Tube: Bank)
March to: Parliament Square
With the Tories going it alone in government we know exactly what to expect. More nasty, destructive cuts to the things ordinary people care about- the NHS, the welfare state, education and public services.
We'll be assembling the demonstration in the heart of the City of London right on the doorstep of the very people who created the crisis in the first place, the banks and their friends in Westminster. We demand that the bankers and elite should pay for the crisis and not the vast majority who had nothing to do with it.
Now is the time to get organizing, to mobilize our communities, to prepare transport and spread the word. We need to do all that we can to make this demonstration bigger and bolder than ever we have done before.
Transport is being arranged from across the country. More details to follow.

2 Jun 2014 — Esther McVey, the Conservatives DWP minister, has refused to appear
before the Welfare Reform Committee but agreed to a private meeting with
members Now McVey has cancelled her planned visit. Work and Pensions secretary
Iain Duncan Smith previously refused to appear at the committee and instead had
an informal off the record meeting with MSPs. And Lord Freud, another DWP
minister, has also refused requests to attend The Scottish Parliament. Labour
and SNP have accused the Tory ministers of being scared to account for the
impact their policies have on vulnerable people. Committee Convener Michael
McMahon MSP said: "We wanted a public meeting, sooner rather than later.
"Instead, we get a private meeting that's eventually cancelled. How
insulting to the people. "Ms McVey can run but she can't hide from our
committee. She has to account for the impact of her department on the most
vulnerable in society." http://t.co/S46fGQuCGM
