Communities Against Cuts - Protest March Wednesday September 30th 2009

14 Sep 2009

Assemble 1pm Parnell Square, Dublin

The range of funding cuts imposed by the Government over the past year is tearing the heart out of our local communities. The McCarthy Group report ("Board Snip") proposals will eliminate over 6,500 jobs in the community sector at a local level. The removal of essential local services and development activities will severely damage the most disadvantaged communities across Ireland.

It is time to act to prevent further damage!

The Community Sector & Trade Union joint campaign is being organised by SIPTU, IMPACT and the Community Sector Employers Forum.

We are calling on all community activists, community workers, volunteers and service users to mobilise and participate on Wednesday September 30th. We are also calling for solidarity from all public and private sector workers.

Fight now to protect our Communities, preserve our jobs and local services.
