RIC-Edinburgh
Activities
The holiday period
has led to a slackening off of activity. Members have been mainly involved in campaigns against TTIP, or the
effects of the cuts in their communities and workplaces. Some have
been involved in Festival Fringe events. Allan Armstrong spoke on
the Edinburgh Legacy of James Connolly for the Edinburgh Peoples Festival at the Liberton 'Yes' Cafe on August 10th. RIC also
held a small meeting with visitors from Catalunya in the Yes cafe
on August 12th. Pat Smith was on the panel of the Common Weal Butterfly Rammy Fringe event speaking on the Indyref.
Edinburgh-RIC includes members of the ISS, Greens, RCN, SNP, SSP, SWP and those in no political organisation at all. ISS,
RCN and SSP members, along with others have now joined RISE. The
Edinburgh launch was attended by 90 people. RIC-Edinburgh continues to be a coalition of people from different
political organisations, various local campaigns and those who are not
in other organisations.
A forthcoming event
backed by RIC-Edinburgh is the national demonstration for justice, organised by the Sheku Bayoh
Justice Campaign on Sunday, September 6th, 14.00 at Kirkcaldy Town House, KY1 1XW
