Cost of Living Crisis: Organising meeting
Tuesday 22 February, 2022 @ 19:00 - 21:00
FreeWe are in crisis: a Covid crisis, a care crisis, a climate crisis, a cost-of-living crisis. The government has killed of hundreds of thousands through austerity, pandemic corruption and ineptitude – and is now driving millions more into poverty. The economy is set up to exploit us: as households face costs of over £1000, as the cost of living shoots up by nearly 10%, as interest rates and rents rise, oil companies rake in record profits from higher prices, employers keep wages low and government holds down pensions and other benefits while increasing National Insurance.
Demonstrations across the country on Sat 12 Feb demanded action on the rising cost of living. Further nationwide protests are planned in March and April. Come along to our organising meeting to discuss how we can build the campaign in Bristol, to build pressure for action to tackle the cost of living crisis.
