Together, we marched

29.03.11 - Helen

On Saturday, unionstogether joined a crowd half a million strong, marching through Central London to send this government a message - there IS an alternative to vicious cuts to jobs, support for families and public services.

It was an incredible, inspiring day. I marched together with nurses, teachers, parents with children, pensioners, union members and Labour Party activists - united in our belief that this government’s got the country on the wrong track. Seeing Ed Miliband address the rally in Hyde Park made me proud to be part of the Labour Party, and part of the labour movement.

Even if you weren’t able to join the march on Saturday, it’s not too late to send a message to the government by making a protest sign at home and sending us a photo.

Saturday was a great day, but the fight against this government’s cuts is only just beginning. As they try to pass the laws that will risk privatising the NHS by the back door, unfairly increase the state pension age, and scrap many of our hard-won rights at work, unionstogether will be helping you get involved in campaigns to stop them.

On Saturday, we showed the strength of our movement when it is united. Upload your photos now:

Together, we can send this government a message - there is a better way.
