Over half a million workers went on strike today, including many Clapton Community FC players, members and supporters.

We encourage members to support strikes by joining the picket lines and not crossing them. Your local picket line can be found at strikemap.org

Clapton Community FC supports the strikers in their demands for better pay and conditions. To that end, we want to further back the growing working class struggle and provide solidarity.

If you’re reading this and are on strike, or organising in your workplace, let us know how best we can support you.

Some members have suggested bucket shakes, solidarity games, trade union stalls at matches, banners, half time speeches by workers and events at the Old Spotted Dog.

Please email suggestions to info@claptoncfc.co.uk
