Budget 2016 Resistance - Actions, groups, resources, links

SJCNL General Assembly, Austerity and Budget 2016
Join us for a General Assembly, open to everyone, this Thursday. We will be meeting in the courtyard of the Science and Arts Building on MUN campus (if the weather is cold or wet we will move indoors). The GA will be an open forum meeting. We encourage everyone to come to the General Assembly with ideas and suggestions for actions to combat austerity and NL Budget 2016. Now is the time to turn anger to action!

We hope that out of the meeting a few action groups can form. We have a few ideas for specific groups, such as rural and Labrador outreach, postering, demonstration organizing, etc. We also hope folks will come with other such ideas for practical things that can be done to further resistance and that people can get involved with.

Free parking available in area 15 (by the Music Bldg.)
