Now is the time for working people and the youth to seize the initiative
The strength of our movement is to be found in all of the thousands of struggles, big and small, which are taking place up and down this country, says YCL leader JOHNNIE HUNTER

THE People’s Assembly’s national demonstration comes together in London against a desperate backdrop for working people.

Well over 130,000 people have died during the Covid-19 pandemic. The vast majority of these deaths were preventable. 

Millions of workers have been thrown into poverty or on the scrap heap. A whole generation of young people have had their lives and education carelessly disrupted and their futures thrown into doubt. Ruling class and Tory incompetence is to blame for all of this.
