APPEAL FOR SUPPORT FOR USE YOUR VOTE FOR THE NHS LONDON RALLY RECEIVED FROM

DEFEND LONDON'S NHS BY BRENT GREEN PARTY

DEFEND LONDON’S NHS

USE YOUR VOTE FOR THE NHS

LONDON RALLY 10 MARCH

HAMMERSMITH TOWN HALL

We are writing to ask for your support for a London wide "Use your vote for the NHS" rally.

This has been called by a number of London NHS campaigns meeting at the London Keep Our NHS

Public coordinating meetings last year.

The rally will bring together campaigns from across London in a very public way aiming to make a big enough splash to help ensure the NHS and our demands to defend it become a key election issue.

Save Our Hospitals (Hammersmith and Charing Cross) campaign has agreed to host it and the council have made Hammersmith town hall available. The plan is for a broad platform of speakers reflecting the campaigns across London.

This needs to be a big event to reflect the scale of the attacks on London's NHS and to help promote

successful campaigns to overturn them. It will bring together the mix of members of the public, health and disability campaigners, health professionals, trade unionists and politicians working together to defend it.

We have booked Hammersmith Town hall from 7.30pm on March 10th.

We would like to ask your campaign or organisation to back the rally. Please let us know as soon as

possible if we can add your campaign’s name to the publicity advertising the event.

If you would like further information please call Anne Drinkell on 07854 467 373

MOTION to Support the March for Homes

MOTION “The London Federation of Green Parties supports the March for Homes and its call on Boris Johnson and London councils to start building the thousands of new council homes we need, control private rents and stop the demolition of homes currently threatening over fifty estates.

The March for Homes will be the next step in the growing fight for decent, really-affordable, secure

housing for all Londoners. We will ensure that this is an election issue in 2015.”

Proposed by Dave Plummer Lewisham Green Party

Government policies are stoking up the housing crisis blighting the lives of Londoners, with subsidies to lenders and developers, while tenants’ rights are undermined.

Over 344,000 are on council waiting lists. The average house price is sixteen times the average

Londoner’s salary. Expensive, insecure and often poor quality private renting has become the only

option for a quarter of us.

Private property developers are driving policy of Ministers and the London Mayor, building homes that few can afford, while many are forced to move out of the city. Our broken housing policy is damaging our communities.

The March for Homes is demanding change. Tenants, trade unionists and housing campaigners from all tenures and all parts of London will call on Boris Johnson and London councils to start building the thousands of new council homes we need, control private rents and stop the demolition of homes

currently threatening over fifty estates.

The March for Homes will be the next step in the growing fight for decent, really-affordable, secure

housing for all Londoners. We will ensure that this is an election issue in 2015.

Join the March for Homes from Elephant & Castle Shoreditch 12 noon Saturday 31st January 2015.
