Lobby of the Labour Party Conference

September 21, 2014 @ 12:00 - 14:00

LabourLobbyBannerVar2The Labour Party is coming to Manchester for their last Party Conference before the general election.

Join us on the 21st September in Manchester for what we hope will be a massive lobby of Labour Party Conference.

We are calling on Labour’s shadow cabinet, Labour MPs and the party as a whole:

  • To actively oppose the passage of the Infrastructure Bill (a.k.a. the “Fracking under our Homes Bill”)
  • To give a Manifesto commitment to ban fracking for shale gas, CBM extraction and UCG everywhere in the UK
  • To give a Manifesto commitment that Labour will implement the proposals of the One Million Climate Jobs report

We believe that all these things would be big vote winners for Labour, as well as the right kind of thing for any Government to be doing, which says it is serious about addressing the growing threat of irreversible and globally catastrophic climate change, reducing unemployment, addressing fuel poverty, and tackling our long term energy requirements as a country, without destroying the environment in the process.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR CALL!

Called, organised and supported by Frack Free Greater Manchester (FFGM), Greater Manchester Association of Trades Union Councils, Fracking Hell (UK), People’s Assembly Against Austerity, Green Party of England & Wales – ADD YOUR ORGANISATION’S SUPPORT NOW!
