Dear Friend,
THOUSANDS
of people across Britain will take to the streets over the coming days
to demand an immediate general election as the only way to stop this
Tory nightmare following unelected Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s coup
against democracy.
The
People’s Assembly Against Austerity have called for demonstrations to
take place across the country as anger continues to grow over
Johnson’s “smash and grab” against democracy by shutting down
parliament to force through his No Deal
Brexit.
Those
gathered will demand an immediate general election -the only real
people’s vote - and the chance to bring down a Tory Government
desperately clinging on to power with a wafer thin majority of
one.
Calls
for an immediate general election will be led by Labour MPs including
Laura Pidcock, who recently accused Johnson of an “abuse of power” ”
warning of “a dangerous, anti-democratic precedent” being set by
shutting down parliament in a bid to avoid scrutiny.
We
believe it is clear the only way out of the crisis is for a general
election to give the people the opportunity to bring down the hard
right Tory government led by the unelected Boris
Johnson.
The only way to end the Tory
austerity nightmare is the election of a Anti Austerity government
committed to saving our hospitals and schools, investing in housing,
renationalising our public services and acting on behalf of the
people, not Johnson and the Tories' pals in the banks and big
business.

Can you help?
The People's Assembly is a grassroots organisation which
is supported by many trade unions, campaigns and local networks, as
well as many individuals. But we need your help. It costs money to
organise events, meetings, demonstrations and campaigns. Unlike those
who are enforcing austerity, we do not have wealthy businessmen
backers. We rely on donations from our supporters. Over the past few
months we have organised or supported campaigns over the NHS, closure
of libraries, housing and in support of trade union rights. We held a
demonstration in early January calling for a general
election.
We need to step up our campaigning and help give a
voice to those trying to stop library closures, end Universal Credit,
defend the NHS and provide a better future for our children.
Thank you!!
