🚨🔔Rise will be at Durham Miners’ Gala-and on the eve of the Gala, we’re hosting an essential conversation about the past, present and future of working-class struggle.
The political, economic & social period we’re living through is overwhelming. It’s hard to know where to begin. How do we build power? How do we challenge the conditions shaping our lives and communities?
We’re bringing together voices from historic struggles -including those involved in the 1984–85 Miners’ Strike -alongside organisers of working class struggle today. We’ll explore the lessons of the past and how we use that wisdom to win now.
Speaker details coming soon. Save the date. 🔔💫
Please email [email protected] if you have any accessibilty requirements.
