Cash not vouchers! Scrap the scheme!

Cash not vouchers! Scrap the scheme!

• Organise a protest outside your local supermarket.

• Get local shopkeepers and managers of local supermarkets that are using the vouchers to sign the open letter to their directors demanding an end to the voucher system.

• Use the petition to encourage shoppers to sign and to explain to them what is happening-send this off to Jack Straw.

• Set up a collection box outside the supermarkets when you are protesting. Ask shoppers to go in and purchase “luxury” items eg: toys, alcohol, cigarettes etc (all of which asylum seekers cannot buy with vouchers).

• On the day of protest organise rallies inviting MPs, councillors, refugee activists, anti-deportation campaigns.
