Branch Meetings
The SWP is a party of activists who know that we need to understand the world to be effective in our actions. Our meetings have a discussion about key issues: economic, political, historical and cultural; as well as planning for events and activities.
This week we have no branch meeting but next Thursday, 17th March, should be exceptionally good: is Bernie Sanders America's Jeremy Corbyn? With so much media attention focused on the ongoing atrocity exhibition that is Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders' spectacular electoral performance is increasingly marginalised. But what do his significant victories so far and on Super Tuesday mean for progressive politics in the USA? And meanwhile, what is happening to the Corbyn team in its supporters in the UK? Join us for a lively discussion on Thursday 17th March, 7 pm at the West End Community Centre on Mackworth Road (next to Britannia Mill).
All welcome. See you there!
Stand Up To Racism stall
After last week's successful rally for Derby's fledgling Stand Up To Racism campaign, the group are holding a stall to promote the group and the upcoming national #M19 Stand Up To Racism demonstration.
There will be a stall on St Peter's St from 11 am to 1 pm. Socialists should do whatever they can to make this stall as big as possible. Spread the word, and come down to help out!
All Out for #M19!Over the last two years the annual Stand Up To Racism demonstration in London on the UN's Anti-Racism Day has become a bigger and bigger event.
It is a celebration of our diversity and a powerful riposte to the forces within the ruling class that seek to divide us and promote racism, and the vultures of the far right that feed off its leftovers.
A big turnout from Derby will help to build a strong anti-racist campaign in the city. Come on the demonstration if you can - spread the word and make sure people know how to get a seat on the coach!
Marxism Festival 2016
Marxism festival is the biggest event of its kind in Europe - thousands of people attending a five day festival of ideas, with meetings on a vast range of subjects and loads of activities.
It is a fantastic event and anyone who wants to change the world should get down to it!
If you want to go but are worried that you will not be able to afford it please get in touch.
We will do everything we can to help you to attend this fantastic event. email derbyswp@gmail.com or find us on Facebook, Derby SWP or on Twitter @derbywsp
