Their Crisis Not Ours is a campaign on the economic crisis launched by the Labour Representation Committee.
It is organising a Day of Action to take place on Budget Day, Wednesday 22nd April. Focusing on the Budget itself, the theme of the day will be 'Where's Our Bailout?'
Among the demands of the campaign are a tax on the profits of big business and a crackdown on tax avoidance, an increase in pensions and unemployment benefit, an emergency council housing programme and an end to repossessions, a cap on energy prices, rail fares and rents, and free education for all.
The campaign will bring together trade unions and progressive organisations and supports the demands of the recently launched People's Charter: http://www.thepeoplescharter.com/
The Day of Action will consist of the following:
11.30am: Protestors will line the route on Whitehall which the Chancellor will take from No. 11 Downing Street to address Parliament.
5pm: We will protest outside the Treasury near Whitehall on 1 Horse Guards Road, London SW1A 2HQ
7.30pm: We will hold a Budget Question Time event at the House of Commons. The panel will include John McDonnell MP, economist Graham Turner, Clara Osagiede (RMT Cleaners' Grade Secretary) and Janice Godrich (President, PCS)
The campaign is calling for the involvement of all progressive organisations and trade unions.
