Join roadside protest for pension rights
On your local ‘A’ road. Every Saturday.
Shoulder2Shoulder have initiated this protest so that women can mobilise their friends, family and neignbours to develop local solidarity with everyone else who has paid into the National Insurance Fund in good faith, only to find out that governments have misled us about our expected entitlements.
That includes miners, police officers, judges, prison officers, teachers, all public sector workers – and our children, who are forced to pay in now, while seeing their chances of ever receiving a pension move further and further away.
Even couples who are different ages have now been targeted, while those who make these decisions retire earlier with million-pound pension pots paid for from our taxes.
Here are the latest confirmed locations for our weekly roadside protests.
Bring your friends, family and neighbours.
If you can suggest a good location post it in the comments here.
KEYBOARD WARRIORS – PLEASE SHARE EVERY DAY – Think about sharing to new groups in your neighbourhood like selling pages and community pages.
If you want to send in some pics of your roadside protest to encourage others in your area to join in please send them here as a pm.
And check out our Weekly Protest Task To Do – there’s a different task each week.

LANCASHIRE UPDATE: 5 of us met at the A6 junction with A5105.People stopping at the traffic lights waved and hooted in support. A lovely policeman came to see what we were doing and said he was totally behind us. We were wearing high vis and protesting peacefully so he said if there were any objections, we could ring 101 for their help!

‘It’s going to prove to be a very costly miscalculation on the part of this government if they think they can continue stonewalling #50swomen‘s demand for pension justice. They are answerable to 3.8 million women, as well their families and dependents.’
