DPAC Protest on 26 March 2011
02/11
Disabled People Against Cuts (DPAC) are going to take part in a TUC march to protest against government cuts.
The march will take place on 26 March 2011 in London.
The march will be at 11am. Protestors will assemble at Victoria Embankment, to march to a rally in Hyde Park.
DPAC are still finalising arrangements of where everyone can meet before this TUC march.
There are also plans to arrange a static protest for those unable to march to Hyde Park. In announcing this protest, DPAC writes:
'Disabled people are facing continuing attacks against their lives, living standards and basic human rights to live independently from almost every conceivable quarter and it is time for us to fight back against these cuts.
These savage spending cuts damage not only our lives, but our public services, and threaten economic recovery. They're dangerous, unfair and unnecessary.
Disabled people are going to march to tell the government we demand "Rights not Charity" and to show we are not easy victims of their cuts even though they may think we are.'
