The<br \/>\nspeakers were good and it has generally registered on the local<br \/>\npolitical scene as another good meeting, one that has contributed to<br \/>\nbuilding both the climate and the cuts movement in Derby.As we said before, we spent some time preparing for this, trying to<br \/>\nget unions to sponsor and support. In the event this was not reflected<br \/>\nin the turnout; there we very few trade union members there, but we<br \/>\ndid make a few new contacts. I believe the Oxford meeting, held a week<br \/>\nbefore, attracted 56 or 57 people, and that also had very few trade<br \/>\nunionists. So be it. But that does not mean we shouldn\u2019t be targeting<br \/>\ntrade unionists; just that there is a big gap between them and the<br \/>\nenvironmentalists. Talking of the gap: we could only get a handful of<br \/>\nenvironmentalists down to a general anti-cuts protest, despite us<br \/>\nhaving a leaflet focusing upon the stringent cuts to the council\u2019s<br \/>\nClimate Change unit. (Is anybody aware of similar offensives against<br \/>\nclimate and environmental departments in other councils?)<\/p>\n<p>Also, possibly, the TU movement is fairly inhibitated, \u00a0except over<br \/>\nthe anti cuts protests. The fact that we has good climate jobs meeting<br \/>\nmeant that we were able to go to an anti-cuts organising meeting the<br \/>\nfollowing evening and say that we had a good meeting, and asking the<br \/>\nanti-cuts folks to join our protest around the cuts to the climate<br \/>\nchange unit (on Feb 15th). I suspect we will get more than a handful<br \/>\nof environmentalists to this, and hopefully quite a few trade<br \/>\nunionists as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We had our meeting around a million climate jobs. 31 people came.
