As the Welfare Reform Bill continues to make its way through Parliament, and local spending cuts begin to really bite, join 'the Hardest Hit' event in London to make your voice heard:

Events across Britain are planned one year on from the government's spending review, which set out the plans to cut public spending that many fear could see disabled people being the ‘hardest hit’.
An estimated 8,000 disabled people marched on Parliament early this year, to protest against the combined impact of local cuts and proposals contained in the Welfare Reform Bill. The local events on 22 October follow up this very successful march and rally.
Local events on 22 October are being held all over the UK. Details on the full list of events can be found at the Hardest Hit website: www.hardesthit.org.uk 

22 October outside London's GLA building, Queen's Walk. Meeting from 11.00am with speeches from 11.30am, to protest against cuts to disability benefits and services. Contact: london@hardesthit.org.uk
