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.
Las week's introduction to Marxism and Religion will hopefully be posted on this blog in the near future.
This week's meeting is a bit of an experiment for us - a joint meeting with our nearest sister branch, Nottingham. We hope to have joint events on a regular basis and build large-scale public meetings with a greater scope for broadening discussion and bringing fresh voices to branch events.
Our speaker at this week's meeting Pride, Politics & Protest: A Marxist Analysis of LGBT+ Oppression will be Laura Miles, who has literally written the book on this topic. All our meetings have great discussions but this week's should be especially big and fantastic, so come along this
Thursday 14th April
7 pm
West End Community Centre on Mackworth Road (next to Britannia Mill).
All welcome. See you there!
People's Assembly Against Austerity - National Demonstration 16th April
In the wake of Osborne's budget and with the Junior Doctors fights now looking set to be joined by teachers, the Tories tearing themselves apart, now is the time to ramp up the pressure and bring them down! Join the national demonstration organised by the People's Assembly on 16th April.
There is transport going down but it is almost full up! Book your ticket here!
