During these troubling times, if there is one group that surely deserves our support and solidarity it is the nursing profession. Well now is the time to show that support and solidarity by attending these demonstrations across the country. Now more than ever we have to show solidarity with each other, by doing this, we can shape our new normal not wait to be regimented back into subservient wage slaves. demonstrate with anger but stay safe and protect each other.

Reel News give some background to the demos tomorrow
Thousands of furious nurses demanded a 15% pay rise as they marched to Downing Street to confront a government that has agreed a pay rise for 900,000 other public sector workers for their work during the COVID-19 pandemic - but not for a single nurse, cleaner or porter.
The astonishing - and very emotional - demonstration came off the back of a facebook group formed just 7 days previously, and already with over 70,000 members.
Anger was also directed at union leaderships who are still not organising action, after shamefully agreeing a paydeal 3 years ago which has led to a now 20% pay cut over the past 10 years allowing for inflation.
Amid calls for a national strike across the NHS, this new movement of rank and file nurses has now called demonstrations all over the country for August 8. Whether you're a healthworker, or one of the millions who applauded NHS workers for their sacrifices (540 healthworkers dead already, with 61% of them BAME workers) - find your nearest demo and get our NHS workers the pay rise they deserve.
All out on the 8th!
