Axe the Tax!

Congratulations to the Sheffield Benefit Justice Campaign for today’s demonstration against the Bedroom Tax in Sheffield.  This campaign is building up nationally, and this will not be the last demonstration.  Just as important is the organisation of meetings and groups on council estates around Sheffield, which has also been growing over the past month.  Sheffield Anti-Cuts Alliance gives its full support to the Benefit Justic Campaign, and sees this as a vital community campaign against the coalition government’s attacks on welfare, and scapegoating of the least well-off to divert attention from the millionaires who caused the current economic mess.

Early Years Protest December 12th

Early Years Protest

Early Years Protest

Congratulations to parents, staff and supporters who went to protest against the devastating cuts in Early Years Provision threatened by Sheffield Council.  See a short video here.   Despite some very articulate and impassioned speeches from parents and staff, the Council Cabinet agreed to the proposals in principle but are now going to consult! The result of the consultation will go to full council in Feb which is too late for the organisations under threat. The good news was that the Green Party and Lib Dems will call it to scrutiny.
