In protest at the violent police tactics seen on Thursday’s anti-education cuts rally at Parliament, a demo was held outside Brixton police station.

This Tuesday we are asking our supporters to turn out in solidarity with the student protesters who were kettled and beaten by the police. Many events will be happening this week of a similar style but this will be aimed at bringing people together locally to coordinate future demonstrations and actions. The main meeting will break down into two parts (students and supporters) to coordinate our next steps
