We are holding a campaign planning meeting to decide where we go next with the campaign.
We will discuss proposals such as:
A Day of Action
Activities could include
- a rally outside the Whittington where local residents can join and delegations could come from workplaces
- stunts in local areas – with people/pets in bandages
· Building links with hospital workers
· Hustings for local political candidates
· Lobby NHS Board meetings
· Petitioning & leafleting
· Writing letters to NHS executives, councillors
· Work with local and national press
Regular planning meeting. All are welcome.
This Saturday the Defend the Whittington Hospital Coalition will be running a cavalcade to promote our campaign and the rally of 27th February.
Please come along and join us outside the Whittington at midday.
