Mobilise 2011

Celebrating services and fighting for them

UNISON members and activists from all over Scotland (and other Regions!) together with community campaigners and other protesters against the cuts have joined in a week-long event at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe
Mobilise was about bringing people together to prepare for action. To get ready to fight against the Government's savage public sector cuts and to reach out to get everyone involved.

We ran practical workshops, we had political debates, we had street protests, we heard musicians, poets comedians and actors united in opposition to the Government's attacks on our much-loved public services.

As this was written we were halfway through and had already made campaign videos, attacked the myths about the economy, launched a campaign against the threatened march of the SDL, discussed how to defend the NHS, looked at the impact of the cuts on women, created new campaign songs and been entertained by fantastic musicians and comedians.

And we are looking forward to learning about Scotland's radical history, demanding better access to rights and justice and examining the role of the arts in campaigning.

But it's not just about a week-long event.

Our activists will be more confident and have a wider range of skills to continue campaigning and defending our valuable public services.
Activate, agitate, debate, laugh, mobilise!
