College Green, Bristol
Mayor Marvin Rees has called a march and rally on Saturday September 9th – following pressure from a coalition of organisations led by Bristol People’s Assembly – to demand the Conservative government gives Bristol and other cities the funding we need for our public services and stops the cuts that are damaging the lives of so many.
Many organisations are supporting and helping to coordinate the action include Bristol People’s Assembly, Bristol Labour Party, Bristol Trades Union Council and others.
Join others campaigning to protect the NHS in this march, starting from near Southmead Hospital, on Horfield Common, to make a statement that Bristol does not want a *government from this election* which will continue to privatise and cut our NHS!
— Called by Bristol People’s Assembly and Protect our NHS (Bristol) —

The government will push through a vote in parliament this summer on renewal of the Trident nuclear weapons system. Jeremy Corbyn has made clear his opposition to spending £183 billion on weapons of mass destruction while our public services are being destroyed by austerity. Jobs on these deadly systems could be converted into sustainable jobs making things we need.
Come and hear about the issues, such as diversification, and join this discussion in the build up to the anti-Trident demonstration in London on the 27th February and to the vote in parliament on renewal of Trident.
Meeting sponsored by Bristol Stop The War Coalition, Bristol Campaign For Nuclear Disarmament and Bristol People’s Assembly Against Austerity.
The Bristol Unite Health branch has arranged transport to the demonstration in Manchester. Bring your colleagues and friends.
It departs Anchor Rd (By @Bristol Science Centre BS1 5DB) at

Free to Unite members and family.
