Edinburgh – Protest: RESIST THE £20 CUT TO UNIVERSAL CREDIT – £20 FOR ALL
Gather 12.30pm onwards
At High Riggs Jobcentre, Tollcross, Edinburgh
#20MoreForAll
The Tory government have announced the £20 pandemic increase in Universal Credit and Working Tax Credit will be cut from the end of September. Edinburgh Coalition Against Poverty is taking up the call from Disabled People Against Cuts for UK-wide resistance.
We insist the cut be re-instated and extended to the “legacy benefits” like Job Seekers Allowance and Employment and Support Allowance. #20MoreForAll
This cut in Universal Credit and Working Tax Credits follows years of cuts as social security rates were either frozen or increased by less than inflation. It is yet another example of governments attacking the poor to benefit the rich. This brutal cut is also an attack on wages and conditions, aiming to force people to accept insecure low paid jobs.
We need to organise at the grass-roots to resist this cut, the entire austerity agenda, and the whole profit-based system which exploits people and is even endangering humanity’s existence.
Join us on the 27th, bring placards, banners, anything that makes a noise
We will be at High Riggs till approximately 1.30pm. If enough people want to continue the action we will then move to a nearby UK Government building.
Please take a lateral flow test beforehand, wear a mask if possible, use hand gel, be considerate and socially distance, thanks.
