Lindsey German speaking at the People’s Assembly’s Tolpuddle Martyr’s Festival event on the struggles we face and the need to organise
Before you go
The ongoing genocide in Gaza, Starmer’s austerity and the danger of a resurgent far right demonstrate the urgent need for socialist organisation and ideas. Counterfire has been central to the Palestine revolt and we are committed to building mass, united movements of resistance. Become a member today and join the fightback.
