Saturday 6th February saw a widely supported day of action to demand a £20 per week uplift to legacy benefits and that the government scraps its proposals to cut Universal Credit by £20 per week. See the report back here.
But there is still more to do over the next few weeks before Chancellor Rishi Sunak gives his Spring budget on March 3.
Help us build support for these demands and force the Tories into a u-turn.
What you can do:
– Put a poster in your window. You can download one here or ask for hard copies to be sent to you by emailing mail@dpac.uk.net
– Get on social media and post selfies and videos using the hashtags #20More4All and #NoCutsToBenefits
– Write to your MP about why this issue is important to you. There is a template letter you can download here
– Raise awareness and build support for the demands from your trade union, Unite Community branch or campaign group
– Organise or support on social media, local socially distanced protests or banner drops
For reasons why this is important:
