Dec 2 -8...take action to stop workfare and sanctions

From: http://www.boycottworkfare.org/


Things are very wrong: each month 70,000 people face hunger and hardship due to benefit stoppages – ‘sanctions’. Millions of hours of work which should be paid are being replaced by workfare. But we’re taking action and having an impact.

This week, from 2-8 December, join thousands of others across the UK to push back against sanctions and workfare – with action online and on your high street.

Here’s the latest list of actions planned across the UK. Let us know if you’re planning something too and check back here Monday-Friday to take online action every day.
