See my report of last weekend's Coalition of Resistance conference. This is via Coalition of Resistance circular:
Demonstrate on 9 December
Parliament votes on the tuition fee rises on Thursday 9 December. CoR is supporting the call for walkouts and a mass demonstration to Kettle the Con-Dems in Parliament. Assemble: 12 noon, University of London Union.
Build Student Assemblies
The ULU-based London Student Assembly, with weekly meetings of a hundred-plus students from colleges across London, has become the democratic expression of the student revolt in the capital. This is a brilliant model. We need Student Assemblies in every major town, and a National Student Assembly early in the New Year.
Occupy against the cuts
Students are occupying 32 colleges against the cuts. CoR is supporting the wave of student occupations, and encouraging local anti-cuts groups to stage street protests and occupations of town halls when councils meet to impose cuts. The Con-Dems have no democratic mandate for the cuts. The direct democracy of direct action is a moral right.
Build CoR groups
Where anti-cuts groups already exist, get them to affiliate to CoR. Where they do not exist, set them up. And we need individual membership to raise money or we cannot function. Visit the Coalition of Resistance site.
Prepare for February Week of Action
CoR is calling for a week of meetings, protests, and direct action that will unite students, workers, and campaigners in localities across Britain. More details to follow - please check the site.
Prepare for 26 March TUC Demonstration
The aim should be to make this one of the biggest demonstrations ever seen, and the launch-pad for moving the resistance onto a new level.
