The streets of central London will be filled with activists this Saturday (16 April), all marching against austerity measures. Will you be taking part – if so, why?

So far more than 4,000 Facebook users have signed up for the demonstration, which will see protestors move through the city to Trafalgar Square. Those in attendance are making a stand against government cuts to health, social housing, jobs and education.

Last week, the organisers – People’s Assembly Against Austerity – modified the event to call for the resignation of prime minister David Cameron over links to his father’s offshore company.

“The Tories are facing their biggest crisis yet. David Cameron’s stake in his father’s off shore tax haven, prove that this is a government for the privileged few, not for the majority. This shows beyond all doubt that Cameron is divorced from the life of any working person,” the organiser wrote on their Facebook page.

We’d like to know why you’re attending. Fill in the form below – you do not have to answer every question – and we’ll use a selection in a feature on the site.
