Get involved in campaigning

A recently formed group - Wellingborough Anti-Cuts Coalition (WACC) - is a broad-based campaign against all damaging cuts to public services in the area and nationally. It was formed by  local trade unionists from UNITE, UNISON and PCS but anyone can get involved. Contact them from their web-site. WACC are holding a day of action against all cuts on Saturday March 12 from 1.30 -3.30 in the Tithe Barn.
