The Peoples Charter, the Coalition of Resistance and a growing number of leading trade unionists, progressive MPs, and important cultural figures in the UK are supporting a call for European-wide solidarity action with the people of Greece. Please put your name to the appeal and build support for the campaign.
The call has been initiated by leading public figures in Greece, the Greek composer, Mikis Theodorakis, and Manolis Glezos, veteran resistance fighter against Nazi Occupation. They are appealing to all progressive people in Europe to defend the People of Greece and all those facing austerity. The Peoples Charter and the Coalition of Resistance are working together to organise solidarity and raise practical support for the Greek people.
A national planning meeting is taking place on Thursday 23rd February 6pm. If you wish to attend please contact Coalition of Resistance This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
