WEDNESDAY 19th JANUARY

Demonstrate
We must protest in our thousands against the government’s plans to abolish EMA – vital support for young people and often the difference between gaining a college education and not.

Assemble 4pm at PICCADILLY CIRCUS to March on Parliament from 5pm

Supported by the London Student Assembly, National Campaign Against Fees and Cuts, Education Activist Network and Free Education Campaign

Please spread the word by inviting everyone to the facebook event here.

You need to arrange a meeting with your MP before you travel to London. Once you have arranged a meeting fill this form (http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/emalobby) to let NUS know which MPs are being lobbied.
