Weekly Update #40

SWP Weekly Update

Hello comrades,

Welcome to this week's update from the Derby Socialist Workers' Party!

Branch Meetings

This Thursday we have what is intersectionality?

What are the different ways in which we are oppressed by capitalist society? What is unique about working class exploitation that makes it different from other forms of oppression?

7 pm at the West End Community Centre, Thursday August 28th.

Next week our guest speaker will be addressing another crucial issue for socialists - when part of the working class is not in a workplace, how can it be organised? An example from our history: How did the Bolsheviks organise the unemployed?

7 pm at the West End Community Centre, Thursday September 4th.

We like to put up previous talks where we can - here is last week's on can trades unions change society? Enjoy!

People's March for the NHS

Trades unionists will join the marchers at various stages of their route, anyone who wishes to join them or support them be aware that they will be passing through:

• Chesterfield 27th August
• Mansfield 28th August
