Protests are being called around the Labour Party annual conference, which this year is taking place in Manchester in September. According to the Trade Union USDAW's website:
'Labour Party Conference: 24 September 2006 - 28 September 2006: GMEX, Manchester. This year's annual conference takes place at the GMEX Exhibition Centre, Manchester from Sunday 24th September until Thursday 28th September 2006'.

The Stop the War Coalition has already announced that its next national demonstration will therefore come to the North West, and that it will be rallying its forces in Manchester on Saturday 23rd Sept.

It will therefore be easier for a mass turnout on this demonstration from local people from around the north-west than for previous national anti-war marches held in London.
It would be good to support this demo, and also any further protests over the following five days that the conference may also provide a focus for.
There are many reasons people will want to turn out and oppose what Blair and Browns Labour Party is doing in government, from their attack on workers pension rights, the continual bloody wars or their spinning of new nuclear power as the answer to climate change!
Many social movements such as those against war, capitalism and racism and for the environment, workers rights and global justice could come together. This could even be a five day carnival of protest and resistance which strengthens and unites social movements and struggles from across the region.
So lets start early! Perhaps its already time we started thinking about what we are going to do about it?

Is it not time for this all to stop as the only thing we should be trying to achieve is to Forget what you look like, where you're from, or what you believe because that only gets in the way of what were trying achieve Which is to live in peace forever and ever And to live in peace, all together?
