See Venue page and Facebook Event page

Working class women will bear the brunt of the government's savage and unjust cuts to welfare and public services, whether as users of public services or as public sector workers. But women will also be on the frontline of fighting back.

This meeting will raise and discuss a number of questions about women, class and British society today, including the question of how women and men alike can achieve fundamental social change.

The starting point for this public forum will be Lindsey German's short but powerful Feminist Manifesto, which can be read HERE 

Speakers: Elaine Graham Leigh, a London-based activist who is on Counterfire's national organising committee and Campaign Against Climate Change's steering committee, and local activist Lindy Syson.
