Weekly Update #17

Hello everyone, welcome to your latest update from Derby SWP!
 
Branch Meetings
 
This week's meeting is the slightly postponed The People Betrayed: the Romans and Populism. We will discuss the Gracchi brothers and how populism can not be in the interests of working people.
 
Thursday 13th February, 7 pm, West End Community Centre, Mackworth Road, Derby. All welcome!
 
 
The following week, our meeting will be Nelson Mandela: Anti-apartheid hero - the struggle continues, with a guest speaker. Thursday 20th February, 7 pm, West End Community Centre.
 
Come along for a lively discussion and debate!
 
National Anti-Racism Demonstration
With racist UKIP and fascist BNP and EDL all hoping to have successes this year, electorally in the case of UKIP and the BNP and on the streets with the EDL bootboys, it is more important than ever for anti-racists to make their voices heard. Join the demonstration in London on the UN's International Anti-Racism Day, March 22nd. More details at the UAF website here.
 
UCU strike action
UCU will be out on strike again over continuing attacks on further and higher education, on Monday morning from 9-11. Pickets are expected at the Kedleston Road university site - pop along to show your support!
 
NUT strike action
The NUT will be taking strike action over continuing attacks on primary and secondary education on March 26th. There are sure to be activities to support striking teachers in Derby - further details as we get them.
