Wednesday May 26 - Branch Meeting:

From anger to revolution: What makes people rise up?

Speaker: Huw Williams

Despite the Covid crisis, over the last year we’ve seen mass movements spring up all across the globe, from Black Lives Matter, to the Indian Farmers Strike, to recent protests in support of Palestine.

As socialists, it is crucial that we get involved in these movements wherever they are. But we also need to understand what makes people rise up – and how to transform these uprisings into revolutionary moments that can genuinely change society.

Join us to discuss this important question in this week’s branch meeting!

How can art help us change the world?

Speaker: John Molyneux (author of The Dialectics of Art, 2020)

Most artists have something to say about the system we live in and their artwork reflects that. Just as the art produced during the Russian Revolution was like nothing ever seen before, recent movements like BLM have had a significant impact on art and culture and vice versa.

But can art really help us change the world? Join us to discuss Marxist views on art and its contribution to the struggle for socialism.

Wednesday February 24 - Branch Meeting:

COVID-19 and Economic Crisis

Speaker: Rob Hoveman

Hear from Rob Hoveman about two of the biggest issues of today: the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and the economic crisis brought on by the capitalist leaders who have failed to manage it.

Discuss how we can fight for a better system that puts peoples lives and wellbeing before profits – and doesn’t end in crisis for the economy or the environment.
