SUMMARY:Troublemakers At Work conference - Manchester
DESCRIPTION:We are calling on all ‘troublemakers at work’ to join us for an important one-day event on Saturday 29 July 2023 at Friends Meeting House\, Manchester. \nWe need to bring together workers who have won improvements at work\, taken strike action\, and transformed weak unions into a strong voice for workers. Our event has a rank and file orientation: the labour movement is built and owned by the workers in it\, not the paid officials or leaderships of unions. \nWe want to attract workers to this event who want to: win a pay rise\, change something about their work\, start a union at work\, or kickstart an existing union at work. \nOur conference is organised by a democratic committee\, without affiliation to political parties or particular unions. \nPlaces are limited and we want to involve a diverse mix of workers. Free professional childcare is available and we will make our event as accessible as we can. \nWe are proudly supported by some serious organisations trying to build the most powerful workers movement we can\, including Workers Can Win!\, Strike Map\, and Organise Now! \nFor more information and to add your organisation as a supporter of this conference\, please get in touch here. \nThis weekend we are launching our register interest form and hoping to promote this across our movement. \nTo keep in touch with the conference and developments from it\, we have created these social media accounts for you to follow and help us promote: \n\nTwitter: @Troublem8kers\nFacebook: @TroublemakersAtWork\nInstagram: @troublem8kersatwork\n\nWe hope you can support this conference and promote it amongst your networks. \nIn solidarity \nIan Allinson – Workers Can Win!\nSarah Woolley – Organise Now!\nHenry Fowler – Strike Map

SUMMARY:Pride in Liverpool
DESCRIPTION:A City Full of Pride.\n\n\n\n\nPRIDE IN LIVERPOOL LOOKS A LITTLE DIFFERENT THIS YEAR\nFrom marching jointly with Kyiv Pride to community-focused zones across the city centre we’re focusing on the roots of Pride and why we still need to protest. \nThis year\, Pride in Liverpool will see five zones across the city centre full of activity\, community performances and local organisations. This will be complimented by lots of fringe events from local businesses as well as of course activity throughout the city’s Pride Quarter.

SUMMARY:Speed Networking: Building a Better Democracy
DESCRIPTION:Democracy in the UK is facing significant challenges\, and it’s time for us to take action and engage in a meaningful way. Introducing… speed networking! \nIn the last five UK elections\, the number of people who abstained from voting surpassed those who cast their vote for the winning party. \nIt’s crucial to recognise that those who choose not to vote are often unfairly labelled as apathetic. In reality\, they have disengaged from a system that has repeatedly failed them. \nTo address this issue\, we are gathering the most talented and passionate individuals dedicated to revitalising our democracy by expanding the electorate. Through speed networking\, we aim to facilitate connections\, foster understanding\, and ignite collaborations that can breathe new life into our democratic processes. \nThis is an opportunity to meet like-minded individuals in a relaxed setting\, enjoying an informal drink while expanding your professional network. \nBy joining us\, you’ll have the chance to connect with exceptional individuals and organisations actively working to engage communities\, increase voter registration\, and maximise voter turnout in future elections. \nDon’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to be a part of the movement towards a stronger\, more inclusive democracy. \nThis event is being held in partnership with the Civic Power Fund and the UK Democracy Network. \nLearn more here!

SUMMARY:Safe Passage for Refugees: PCS TUC Fringe event
DESCRIPTION:PCS has been at the forefront of campaigning for a safe and legal means for refugees to claim asylum without resort to the dangerous Channel crossing in small boats and free from the exploitation by those that profit from it. \nLast year\, PCS in partnership with Care4Calais published our ‘Safe Passage for Refugees: humane alternative to the Rwanda policy’ paper\, which garnered support across the trade union movement and beyond. \nWith the government’s Illegal Migration Act receiving Royal Assent in July this year\, the context of our campaign is shifting and adapting.  This fringe meeting will address that and discuss how the movement can take forward the campaign for refugees’ rights. \nThe event will be chaired by PCS national president Fran Heathcote and speakers include: Mark Serwotka\, PCS general secretary; Clare Moseley\, founder of Care4Calais; Weyman Bennett\, Stand up to Racism.

SUMMARY:How proportional representation can unlock economic equality - TUC fringe
DESCRIPTION:TUC fringe with tapas\, wine\, beer and soft drinks. \n  \nEconomic equality cannot be achieved without political equality. To achieve that we need a fairer voting system so the voices of working people are heard clearly in Westminster at all times. \nSpeakers: \n\nJohn McDonnell MP\nDr. Justine Mercer\, UCU President\nMaria Iacovou\, Professor in Quantitative Sociology – University of Cambridge and LCER\nMark Serwotka\, General Secretary PCS\nRob Ford\, Professor of Political Science – University of Manchester\nChaired by: Lynn Henderson\, Chair\, Politics for the Many\n\n  \nDescription: \nA growing number of unions are now backing a proportional voting system (PR) because they can see the current system isn’t working for working people. \nPR is about ensuring that workers’ rights and pay improve over time. It’s about reversing the trend where FPTP over-represents governments hostile to working people and\, as a consequence\, sees their rights and conditions eroded over time. \nJoin us in a sociable environment to get your questions answered and hear about how PR can ensure trade unionists always have a seat at the table.

SUMMARY:Resisting Thatcherism in 1980s Sheffield
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday 21st October\, Sheffield Transformed is hosting a workshop that will explore how left-wing activists and politicians in 1980s Sheffield attempted to resist the dominance of Thatcherism and implement their own political ideas. \nDuring the 1980s\, the term ‘Socialist Republic of South Yorkshire’ was coined to describe the region’s left-wing political culture. With contributions from historians and local campaigners\, this workshop will examine the left-wing\, trade union\, feminist\, and anti-racist activism that made up the Socialist Republic. \nThrough presentations and group discussion\, we’ll examine the extent to which there was a concerted and successful attempt to build a left-wing alternative to Thatcherite ideology in Sheffield. We’ll discuss what we can learn from this pivotal period in political history and how we can apply it to our present situation. \nA full programme for the day is available here\, which includes some suggested further reading and resources. As well as the scheduled sessions\, there will also be an exhibition of local political memorabilia and photographs from the 1980s that people can view during the breaks and at the end of the event. \nTickets are free but\, as Sheffield Transformed has no regular source of funding\, any donations will help us to host future events. \nThank you to GMB\, NEU\, the Orgreave Truth and Justice Campaign\, Sheffield Trades Council\, UCU and Unite for generously supporting this event. \nGuest speakers \n\nSheena Clarke – local councillor from period\nDamon Fairclough – writer and photographer\nKate Flannery – local activist\nSarah Kenny – historian\nDaisy Payling – historian\nAnandi Ramamurthy – academic\nEmma Rattenbury – local activist
