Speak Up for Manchester
Catherine
is of Sierra Leonean descent and has lived in the UK for over twenty years. She
is a local community advocate and political campaigner in Manchester with a
strong record of helping with benefit, housing and immigration issues. She has
consistently worked in the voluntary third sector and has a passion for helping
improve facilities for working class areas.
She intends
to stand for election on a platform of opposition to the growing inequality and
degradation of our communities.
- More social housing built rather than student residences and supermarkets.
- Free school meals and more school places with more teachers employed.
- A major programme of creating community facilities starting with youth centres.
- Abolish tuition fees.
- Restore Education Maintenance Allowance.
- Bring the troops home from Afghanistan.
In
accepting the party’s selection, Catherine explained, ‘the Human spirit is being drained as Job
centre Plus has sub-contracted job seeking to private companies...who really do
not show due care to their customers, hence leaving unemployed people treated
like second class citizens. I have slowly watched my neighbours, friends and
families lives deteriorate due to the economic climate.
‘I put myself
forward because I have a great yearning for real change, not one that is
scripted, dictated then abandoned but one that is practiced. George Galloway’s
stunning election victory in March is a model for an election campaign that can
bring real change. It is time for the same in Manchester.’
