Dear friends
The Durham Miners' Gala is the world's greatest display of trade union and community solidarity.
The 2022 Gala was dedicated to rank and file trade unionists; the key workers who kept society going throughout the pandemic. More than 200,000 people attended, marching behind more than 60 bands and more than 100 trade union banners.
This year we are facing the greatest economic challenge of our lives and it is clear this incompetent and cruel government is determined to condemn the people of Britain to a life of poverty. But the people are rising up, refusing to be poor and demanding their just rewards.
There is no more powerful way to demonstrate the unity and determination of these struggles than by all coming to Durham on the second Saturday in July.
Please help us to make the 137th Gala the greatest show of solidarity ever by making an investment in this historic display of collectivism.
Many thanks in anticipation for your help.
In solidarity,
Dave Anderson
Chair, Friends of Durham Miners’ Gala
