March for Jobs, Justice and Climate, 28 March, London

Tell the G20 to PUT PEOPLE FIRST

In April 2009 the leaders of 20 of the world’s biggest economies meet in London against a backdrop of recession and global financial crisis.

On Saturday March 28, thousands of people will march through London as part of a global challenge to the G20 leaders to ‘put people first’.

Trade unions, environmental groups and charities have come together for this mobilisation and the message will be:

  • Decent jobs and public services for all
  • End global poverty and inequality
  • Build a green economy

RMT wants to publicise this event as widely as possible to ensure a huge RMT presence on the march. Branches should bring their banners.

The march will start from the Embankment at 12pm, assembling from 11am outside Temple Tube on Victoria Embankment. The march will finish at Hyde Park with a rally with speakers, musicians and comedians.

Please urge as many to come as possible. If you can be there, or you want leaflets, or can help in any other way, please email Alastair Gittins or call him on 020 7529 8281.

Publicity materials will be produced and circulated to RMT branches shortly. See Put People First website for further information. Details of the march are also on RMT's website.
