We are calling for a demonstration against all immigration prisons and against Manchester's Pennine House in particular. At a meeting last week, local groups such as No One Is Illegal, RAPAR, Comittee to Defend Asylum Seekers, AF-Manchester and others endorsed our call.
**Meet 12noon on Saturday 21st March on Albert Square outside Manchester Town Hall
**from there, a a ride will leave to cycle to Manchester airport. The rest of the demonstration will follow by train. We will re-converge at 2pm outside Terminal 2, which houses Manchester's immigration prison.
The route will follow Sustrans NCN routes 85 and 6 and will be both on and off road (road bikes will be fine though). It won't be a mega fast ride as we are expecting people from all abilities etc.
Please come prepared and self sufficient:
-Bring a spare tube and tube changing tools
-Bring spare batteries
-Bring extra layers, for if it gets colder
-Bring a rainjacket for if it gets wetter
-Bring a Fully Charged Mobile
-Bring a mapbook
Read this before you ride please
This protest will coincide with a demonstration at Yarl's Wood detention centre in Bedfordshire, called by London No Borders.
