This week I have been giving out publicity for the Brent People's Assembly along with other activists. Shoppers in Harlesden High Street and parents at school gates expressed their concern about the cuts and how they are impacting directly, and indirectly, on children.
With both the Coalition Government and Brent Council appearing to ignore the views of local people, the People's Assembly has been organised as a forum where people can make their voices heard and talk about what the cuts are doing to them and their families.
We will hear about these experience and about the campaigns that are going on locally. This is a chance for the Brent community to get together and organise to make sure their children have a future.
