The People's Assembly have called upon all Welsh political parties which oppose austerity to work toward joint action and policies, including support of trade union and anti-austerity action and campaigns. Wales Green Party are taking a lead in supporting this action.
Wales Green Party Leader, Pippa Bartolotti, said: “Grassroots organisations such as the Greens and the People’s Assembly are sticking together in the face of increasing austerity and cuts which we know will hurt the poorest and most vulnerable hardest. Together we are the true opposition to the excesses of Tory rule, and together we will work for a more just society."
Bartolotti joined Charlotte Church and over 500 protesters on Saturday at an anti-austerity march organised by the Cardiff People's Assembly. Wales Green Party members will also be attending the UK march in London on June 20th.
“The Greens in Wales have experienced an unprecedented growth in membership, and we know we are heading for up to three Assembly seats in the next election. We are reaching out to all who know there is another way forward for Wales, a way which will produce a fertile environment for jobs and growth, for compassion and community, and for services in education, transport and healthcare which every Welsh man and woman can be proud of.”
