Dear Friends....
Re: 'MARCH FOR THE ALTERNATIVE' (called by the TUC), LONDON - 26 MARCH 2011.
Chris, Steve and other Mytholmroyd 'Ribboners' are travelling down to London on the 26th to be present at the march. White Ribbon Campaign UK is concerned that government financial cuts will reduce services which provide assistance and support, in all their forms, to women affected by male violence against them.
I have prepared a WRC A5 flyer addressing our concern which we will hand out to the marchers and interested onlookers. We have 2500 copies of this flyer. It includes a section on the back for people to take The WRC Pledge. The key wording on the leaflet front reads: The government cuts will affect everyone. 60% of refuge services have no funding agreed from 1 April 2011. 72% of outreach services have no funding agreed from 1 April 2011 (source: Womens Aid Newsletter, March 2011). Women seeking advice, support and safety as a result of men's abuse and violence towards them, could find that the relevant support services no longer exist in their area, or have become drastically reduced.
2500 flyers will be difficult for a small number of us to distribute! We would be very grateful if any of you could assist with handing out these flyers. If you'll be at the march, and will help us, please contact us directly on 07941597584.
In anticipation,............I thank you.
Regards
Stuart Hogg
