Videos here from last night's Coalition of Resistance meeting in London which I attended. Speakers include the Green Party's Romayne Phoenix. Romayne and I are both members of the COR Steering Committee. The meeting was well attended and for many of us the highlight of the evening was Dot Cotton of Pensioners Convention's speech, where she reminded us of the historical struggles and the role of pensioners. Other Green Left members spoke from the floor, including the party's Disability Spokesperson, Alan Wheatley.
Others have blogged about it but I would just like to point out that we still desperately need money to have the national conference on November 27th in Camden. Paul Mackney summed it up well when he referred to "the joy of resistance."
On Monday Lambeth Against the Cuts has a meeting at the Karibou Centre, 7 Gresham Road, Brixton at 7pm. Speakers include:
Kate Hoey MP
George Graham (Lambeth Green Party)
Jon Rogers (Lambeth UNISON)
Bell Ribiero-Addy (NUS Black Students)
Should that be Dot Gibson of the National Pensioners Convenion as opposed to Dot Cotton of Eastenders fame??
ReplyDeleteIndeed it should. Sorry, a Freudian slip of some sort there when writing that report.
