People’s Assembly Autumn Offensive
We Won’t Pay For Their Crisis

Mick Lynch Kicking Off Our Autumn Offensive - Join Us!

The Tories face multiple deepening crises (the cost of living, supply chain breakdown, health, climate change and war) but have no solutions other than making us pay for the crisis. On Friday, we were told that our energy bills will rise by another 80%. This comes on top of the 54% rises earlier this year, more rises in January, as well as ever increasing inflation. At the same time, gas and oil companies make staggering profits. These, and other price increases, will lead to absolute catastrophe for ordinary people this winter.

We are in a very precarious situation and need urgent and coordinated action that forces the government to act and meet the needs of people not profiteering big business. The People's Assembly is therefore calling for maximum unity across our movement.

We have organised a series of events this autumn and are asking our supporters to help us to mobilise the biggest, most united voice of workers and communities from every corner of Britain in the coming weeks.

On Wed 7th September at 7pm, we will be kicking off our Autumn Offensive with an unmissable event.

Mick Lynch, RMT General Secretary, will be in conversation with Gary Younge, award winning journalist, author and academic. They will discuss the state of UK politics, the growing solidarity between the working class and the need for a radical alternative to face the growing crises of our time. This will take place in a central London venue.

Support The Strikes
Supporting the increasing numbers of strikes and pickets is crucial. Successful strikes not only achieve better pay etc, but they raise political consciousness and confidence and show what is possible when we collectively organise.

Getting down to a picket line to offer solidarity to strikers can really boost morale and keep strikers going. You can also organise solidarity rallies and meetings through yourlocal People's Assembly group ([link removed]) or get your union branch to send messages of solidarity and donations to strike funds. For details of strikes and pickets near you, seeStrike Map. ([link removed])
