TUSC campaign for Manchester Central
TUSC campaign for Manchester Central.
Details from Hugh Caffrey on the TUSC Facebook site:
The TUSC campaign for Manchester Central officially starts next Wednesday evening. Already we’ve got support from across the Left, and from unions/trade unionists including RMT, PCS, POA, CWU, Unite and FBU. Our first organising meeting last night made plans for the campaign as follows.
Finance
This remains very urgent – we have received over £700 in donations already but need to raise another £1300. We have just paid out £1100 to send a leaflet to every registered voter/household in the Manchester Central constituency! So please help us raise the money.
Donate online at the TUSC website: http://www.tusc.org.uk/donate.php (please email me if you donate online to ensure the donation is allocated to Manchester Central).
Make cheques payable to “TUSC” and post to my election agent Hugh Caffrey, Flat 2, 55 Hathersage Road, Manchester, M13 0EW
Contact us to make a cash donation
All donations are gratefully received and will be receipted.
Use the attached spreadsheet to build support and raise funds. One supporter has raised £25 in a few days using this. Bring completed forms and cash/cheques to our weekly organising meetings.
About Manchester Central
This huge constituency has over 92,000 registered voters across 8 council wards. The attached map shows which wards are in the constituency. If you, or people you know, want to check whether they are in the constituency and/or able to vote for TUSC, email me their names and addresses.
Organising meetings
Every Tuesday (except the 13th Nov) until 20 November (the Tuesday after polling day).
All meetings are 7.30pm, upstairs at the Town Hall Tavern in the city centre. Meetings will take reports of activities done, plans for forthcoming activity, and be a pick-up point for election campaign material.
Ardwick council by-election
There is a by-election in Ardwick ward on the 15th November, we’re standing Unite assistant branch secretary Shari Holden. You can download the ward map here. Leaflets for Shari’s campaign are available from mid-day tomorrow and we need volunteers to put them through doors in the ward.
Shari has a day-glo window poster available, the file for that and her leaflet are attached.
Bundling leaflets – can you help?
We need to bundle the posted election leaflet into bundles of 100. We need volunteers to help with this daytime next Thursday (1st November).
Rally for TUSC with Dave Nellist 13th November
Our election campaign will rally all supporters on 13th November for a major pre-poll rally, with speakers including former Militant Labour MP Dave Nellist, a senior national leading member of PCS union, and Alex Davidson. Put it in your diary now! A specific leaflet will be available from next week.
