BFI Uncut believes in solidarity. We believe that all cuts driven by ideology rather than necessity should be opposed. On this page we will promote events that on the surface have nothing to do with the BFI but we feel are vital events to attend none the less.
If you click any event in the calendar below you will see a detailed description of that event. If you wish to attend that event click the appropriate link in the Promoted Events section above the calender.
Below the calendar is a brief introduction to what we'll call the SolidairtySphere. Because it is quite large The links below maybe not even be the best selection but if you're new in town they should get your foot through the door. If you don't have a twitter account, get one! and check out our Internet Actions page for a brief introduction to how all these social media tools work these days
We highly recommend following #solidarity on twitter and keeping up with the hashtags that pop up now and again.
