We'll have art in the marquee in Piccadilly Gardens from Andrew Swan called, 'STINKING RICH: The Cost Of Wealth.' This explores the impact extreme wealth is having on our local communities and environment.
The 'Hell Bus' will be coming to town too and will be parked on St Annes Square during the Tory Conference. The bus has great exhibitions with interactive installations. These satirise the oil and gas companies attempts to 'greenwash' their companies and convince the world they have good environmental policies and intentions.
It's important we make the National Demonstration as big and as bold as possible. Following 13 years of extremely destructive Tory rule, we collectively need to show the we're saying enough is enough, we do not accept their government, their policies or them. We can only do that if we come out in our tens of thousands across the whole of the movement.
We will also continue to hold to account any subsequent government that does not govern in the interest of the many.
So, JOIN US! Bring your friends and family and get to our great range of events during the Tory Party Conference.
