Save Zoom Beyond Demonstration!
***THIS EVENT HAS BEEN POSTPONED TO THE 4th NOVEMBER***
On Saturday 4th November there will be a demonstration organised by myself and the Students Unions of both Sheffield universities, at Sheffield City Hall (In Barker's Pool, opposite Cole Brother's/the old John Lewis). This will start at 12pm.
This has been approved by Sheffield City Council and South Yorkshire Police, and representatives of the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority will most likely be attending. I will be stewarding.
We want this to be a celebration of the successes of the Zoom Pass over the past two and a half years, and a loud call to government to give South Yorkshire the money it needs to keep travel cheap for our young people and beyond. Since June 2021, we have had the cheapest fares for 18-21 year olds in the country. We need to be prouder of this, and safeguard that fact.
We will be having speeches - if you represent an organisation that cares about public transport in our region, or if you are just an individual who uses buses and is passionate for this cause, we want you! Get in touch with me at [email protected] if you'd be up for this, and give me an outline. No worries if you forget to do that; turn up on the day as we will have an open forum to speak after timetabled speakers are finished.
I am currently looking to source a PA/Microphone and speaker for this event to facilitate speakers, so please do also contact me if this is something you can help with.
We will have press at the event, including many student journalists. By attending, you will be giving photo consent as it is a public place, but I will try and bring some red stickers to indicate to press to not directly photograph you if you wish to not be identifiable.
Please do contact me if you have any questions or if you can support in any way. Again, thank you all so much.
Cheers,
Jude.
