Organising against the cuts in Lambeth

Submitted by Matthew on 2 March, 2011 - 12:03

I was involved in the occupation of Lambeth council chamber on Wednesday 23 February.

It really brought home to me the necessity of tight and diciplined action. It sounds a strange thing to say — that organisation is a good thing — but there is a lot of “talk” around about how such organisation is undemocratic and we should “just let things happen”. Nothing would have happened if Lambeth SOS had not put lots of time into planning the night. Planning ensured that people stepped forward, were willing to lead and were committed to the action and ensuring that it went ahead.

If we need more direct action, this is the way to go!
