Organise your own event
Do you want to help put ordinary people first in the global economy? Are you passionate that jobs, global justice and climate change are issues to be tackled, not shirked, in the midst of this crisis? If the answer is yes we need your help to get as many people as possible to London for the Put People First rally on 28th March.
We’re looking for people to help organise meetings in their area to mobilise for the march. We can provide fantastic speakers, help with publicising your event and hook you up with others in your region so you can work together. If you are interested drop us a line at cleanstart@newint.org
