Axe the Bedroom Tax

Anti-eviction army - practice run!

Leicester AF is pleased to publicise the following event which aims to organise in readiness for potential Bedroom Tax eviction attempts:

Protest at threatened Bedroom Tax evictionsTuesday 5th November
Meet 11amOutside the BRITE CENTREBraunstone Avenue LE3 

Thousands of people in Leicestershire are under threat of eviction because they are struggling to pay their rent as a result of housing benefit cuts.  We want to peacefully resist any attempt at eviction by blockading threatened homes. 

This action is a practice run.  We are not yet aware of impending evictions locally due to the Bedroom Tax, but we are still appealing for people to come along in solidarity. 

Call the Anti-Bedroom Tax Federation on 0773 797 8057

Event co-organised by Leicestershire Anti-Bedroom Tax Federation & Unite Community Leicestershire.
