Yesterday (Thursday) the People’s March for the NHS arrived in Nottingham. Good crowds. Great spirit. Wonderfully inspiring for an important cause: Defending the NHS.
There is only one problem. With their long march to London just about half over, the marchers have run out of their souvenir/publicity T-shirts. Right at the moment, they have no spare cash to get any more produced.
They need our help. In the next 48 hours – that is before 17:00 on Sunday – we will be raising £1,250 for the marchers.
This money will allow them to immediately place an order for 250 more People’s March T-shirts. And then they will have a fresh supply available, both as a fund-raiser and as a way to publicise their historic 450km march which ends in London on 6 Sept.

Just Stop Oil – Slow Marches
Slow marches are still legal (so LOW RISK of arrest), and are extremely effective. The plan is to keep up the pressure on this ecocidal government to stop all new fossil fuel licences.

The fund-raising campaign for T-shirts for the People’s March for the NHS is now over. Forty-eight (48) donors gave a net total (after Paypal took off its slice) of £936.39.
This money should ensure that the marchers will have march t-shirts available for their wrap-up rally in London’s Trafalgar Square on Saturday: http://999callfornhs.org.uk/the-london-rally/4585674915 .
Thanks to all of the donors who will also get a personal e-mail from me and from a representative of the East Midland Greens; we worked together harmoniously on this three-day financial appeal.
We have already got a “brilliant” message from Rehana Azam of the march team who is out on the road over in Northamptonshire.
Cheers
