What does resistance mean take in an age of austerity? As we see the austerity agenda having massive consequences in Greece and Spain and the UK bracing itself for the real impact of this agenda, we ask what should a resistance to austerity look like. In Greece we see outright violent resistance, combined with a development of bartering systems and many people returning back to the land to support themselves.

Should we just resist or do we push for more radical change in society? If yes how can we do this? Are these the right ways to resist, could this occur in the UK, what can be done in this new age of the austerity agenda?

We will look at short films about the impact of austerity, hear from Bristol groups attempting to effect change and highlight new ideas of resistance and social change. The night will feature speakers from Bristol IWW, Afed, Solfed, Socialist Party Badaca plus many others talking about the issues they are coming into contact with, the activities they have been involved in and the future of resistance in Bristol to these appalling cuts.
