Jarrow March for Jobs
Saturday 1st October to Saturday 5th November 2011
Youth Fight for Jobs (YFJ), a campaigning organisation, is marching from Jarrow to London, starting on 1 October 2011. This is on the 75th anniversary of the Jarrow Crusade, when 200 unemployed workers took a similar route to raise awareness of mass unemployment.
Today, as unemployment and youth unemployment soars due to the Con-Dem coalition axing jobs and services, this new campaign is absolutely vital. YFJ is raising £25,000 to fund the march and to organise demonstrations, rallies and protests in every town, city and area that the march visits.
Saturday 5 November: Assemble 12 noon on Embankment (near Temple tube), London, to march to a rally in Trafalgar Square to mark the end of the Jarrow march and welcome the marchers to London
