From the website: "Whoever wins the next general election will be looking at the welfare state and public services as a way of cutting public expenditure. This demonstration must therefore send a clear message to all the political parties that the majority of people do not want to see further cuts and privatisation.

On 10 April 2010 we will have a unique chance – just weeks before an expected general election – to make our voices heard. Staying at home and thinking it’s someone else’s job to speak out for the welfare state and public services won’t be enough. Make sure you are there!"

Visit the website for more details.

There is also an online petition "to oppose any further cuts or privatisation to the welfare state and public services" at http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/10-4-10demo/
