Maryhill Anti Cuts Conference
A group of residents in North west Glasgow have got together to fight the cuts and defend services locally.
The first event was an anti cuts conference which
attracted 30 folks. There were talks from activists from many
different spheres, from those locally who'd occupied a primary school
a few years back, to NHS campaigners, to a speaker from the ongoing
anti cuts student occupation at Glasgow University. Most importantly
we had many small table discussions.
We are now having regular
organising meetings and have begun mapping the area to get a clear
picture of how the cuts will affect our local area and what we can do
both to defend local services, but also fight all the cuts to public
services and the welfare state.
