Freedom March 26th Action Map

A – Education Bloc feeder march
ULU, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HY, 10am
Directions
Called by
London Student Assembly
What began as a simple bloc has turned into a full blown feeder march due to the massive positive response. Get there early for a pre-demo breakfast. In terms of energy and imagination definitely the place to be.

B – South London feeder march
Kennington Park, London SE11 4AU, 10.30am
Directions
Called by
Lambeth SOS
Southwark SOS
Lewisham Anti-Cuts Alliance
Along with the education feeder march, it will be the biggest ‘unofficial’ bloc on the demonstration. South London is being hit particularly hard by the Tories cuts and the increasing anger and resentment is being turned into effective local action. Destined to be one of the most passionate and vocal blocs on the march.

C - TUC march start point
Victoria Embankment, Assemble 11am
Forming up between Waterloo Bridge and Blackfriars Bridge. The large numbers expected mean there is certain to be an extended wait until it is allowed to move off.

D – TUC Rally
Hyde Park, advertised to begin at 1.30pm and go on until 4.30pm.
In addition to the stage and giant screens, there will be refreshment facilities and extra toilets. As well as private security. Ed Miliband, New Labour leader and ‘same cuts but slower’ doctrine will be speaking. A robust response to Miliband’s politicking is expected.

E – Occupy For the Alternative
Oxford Street, 2pm
UK Uncut. A massive simultaneous shut down of banks and tax dodgers on London’s Oxford Street – flash mobs, bail-ins and occupations along the length of Europe’s biggest shopping street. Then at 3.30pm there will be a massive final convergence, ready for a spectacular mass occupation of a secret target.

Black Bloc
Not a group but a tactic whereupon individuals come together wearing all black attire for maximum anonymity. Key elements are: collective action and mobility. A facebook page has been created declaring “meeting point will probably be outside one of the stations near victoria embankment like temple station precise details will be given nearer the time”. You have been warned.

» GROUPS AND NETWORKS

Legal Observers
Not technically a bloc but there will be hundreds of legal observers from the radical movement present on the march to document the unlawful behaviour of the police and help protesters with legal advice (including handing out bust cards). These are committed political activists and unlike the Liberty police-sanctioned observers are not in collusion with state agencies.
Legal Defence Monitoring Group
Green and Black Cross
FITwatch – monitoring police surveillance tactics on demonstrations

FITwatch flashmob
Flashmob! – block FIT cameras from taking your own photo (entirely legal) or other’s photos (more dubious legality) using banners/flags/placards/newspapers and get noisy – bring over soundsystems, horns, whistles or just get gobby.
More info: FITwatch flashmob facebook page

IWW autonomous rally
Called by London IWW
Directions
Park Lane fountain, Hyde Park, 3.30pm
Deliberately timed so that people can attend as many as possible of the various other actions going on during the anti-cuts protests on March 26th. IWW called this rally as a means of bringing together like-minded groups, campaigns and individuals to advocate militancy in the present class war and a new future to be built on principles of solidarity, direct democracy and equality.

Shut Down London
Coordinated roving flash mobs promising to “stop traffic, run wild, make as much noise, get as much publicity”.
