NHS at 70: Free, for all, forever
Saturday June 30
Assemble 12 noon, Portland Place, London W1A
Global Justice Now will be joining the NHS at 70 demo to celebrate our free publicly-owned health service and demand the right to health for all.
We'll also be distributing leaflets and talking to other demonstrators about our campaign to put people before profit in the global drug industry.
In 2017, the NHS drugs bill was £4.4 billion bigger than it had been six years earlier. £4.4 billion is more than five times the NHS deficit in 2017. For the big drug companies, the NHS is a cash cow – they can hike the prices, knowing that most of the time the NHS will pay up.
Join Global Justice Now on the demo: Meet 12 noon outside the Polish Embassy, on the corner of Portland Place and Weymouth Street.
Demo organised by Health Campaigns Together, Trades Union Congress, The People's Assembly, Unison, Unite, GMB, British Medical Association, Royal College of Nursing, Royal College of Midwives, CSP, BDA, SoR. See the Facebook event for more info.

New Anarchist Research Group
The next meeting of the New Anarchist Research Group will be held (as usual) on the fourth Saturday of the month, which this month is 23 June
We will be having an open discussion on the ideas of Murray Bookchin,
in the MayDay Rooms, 88 Fleet Street, London EC4Y 1DH
2:00pm to 4:30 pm
“What has often been missing in contemporary anarchist thought is a vision of how an anarchist or libertarian socialist approach might transform society in practice. Bookchin proposes an alternative to two unpromising approaches that are common in recent anarchism. One is to focus almost entirely on resistance and oppositional work, while leaving constructive counter-institution building for possible future consideration. The second is to put one’s efforts into a variety of constructive but basically marginal projects, hoping that somehow this will transform the world. Bookchin’s crucial contribution was to help revive debate within anarchism and libertarian socialism concerning the possibility of a realistic program that had a meaningful and reasonably concrete vision of how society could be deeply transformed in the foreseeable future.” (John P Clark)
If you have time before the meeting, please read one or more of the four online summaries of Bookchin's ideas about Libertarian Municipalism listed below, or anything else by or about Bookchin.
Our meetings are friendly and informal. [ We do ask everyone who comes to make a small contribution to the cost of hiring the room.]

Anarchist Research Group - July meeting
Utopia as Process. Noham: A thought experiment
Saturday 28 July 2:00pm - 4:30 pm
Utopia as process. Noham: A thought experiment
Hugh Barnard
"In 2016, I had a talk with someone from the Newham Greens and Rokshana Fiaz (who is now mayor of Newham) about systematic approaches to fly-tipping. As a result I spent a little time thinking and writing an essay about 'what the borough should look like' from the point of view of someone who is both 'technical'. 'ecological' and poised between federated anarchy and Bookchin's (later) municipalism. In 2018, I stood for the Greens and (as we expected) lost, but did quite well, ending up in front of the Tories and LibDems, so I am pushing for some of this in the borough.
"I regard it as being a work in progress and will probably do something more formal with it, this year as part of my degree. These kind of experiments are about 'how things fit together'. Non-prescriptive 'Utopia as Process' is very central for Ruth Levitas: https://www.cusp.ac.uk/themes/m/m1-5/ "
Hugh Barnard studied chemistry at Imperial College and then spent 40 years in the world of computers. He spent 20 years on the continent of which 10 years in Belgium as an 'expert en informatique' (a technical advisor) to the Commission and later to the European Parliament. He returned to the UK in 1997 and is currently a philosophy undergraduateat Birkbeck specialising in political philosophy, ethics and logic. He has maintained an interest in anarchy since reading Berkman's ABC ofAnarchy in about 1967, currently he is interested in Bookchin,
eco-anarchists, utopia as process (Ruth Levitas) and the role of technology in radicalism.

Reflections on Knowledge, Learning and Social Movements:
History's Schools
"How do educators and activists in today’s struggles
for change use historical materials from earlier periods of organizing for
political education? How do they create and engage with independent and often
informal archives and debates? How do they ultimately connect this historical
knowledge with contemporary struggles?"
Aziz Choudry is associate professor and Canada

Striking Women – an event for Feminist Book Fortnight
Feminist Library
5 Westminster Bridge Road, London SE1 7XW
Monday 25th June at 7pm
On 7th June 1968 the women workers at Ford Dagenham and Liverpool went on strike, while today the women’s strike is again becoming an international phenomenon. As #MeToo leads to more and more women outing their abusive bosses and co-workers, the time is apt to look at the history of striking women. From the 19th Century to today, what can we learn from their struggles? How can we rebuild women’s solidarity? What do modern women’s labour struggles look like?
Sundari Anitha and Ruth Pearson, the authors of Striking Women, Sally Groves the author of Trico: A Victory to Remember and one of the striking women, and Diana Holland, assistant general secretary of Unite the Union, will join us to discuss these issues. With more speakers to be announced.
Trico: A Victory to Remember, Lawrence and Wishart The remarkable story of 400 women who, in 1976, went on strike for 21 weeks to win equal pay with their male counterparts. This trail-blazing strike was essential to making women’s rights a central focus for the labour movement in the UK. Trico: A Victory to Remember is illustrated with stunning archive photos mostly unseen for over forty years, and anecdotes from some of those involved.
Striking Women: Struggles and strategies of South Asian women workers from Grunwick to Gate Gourmet, Lawrence and Wishart Striking Women gives a voice to the women involved, as they discuss their lives, their work and their trade unions. Focusing on South Asian women’s contributions to the struggle for workers’ rights in the UK, this fascinating insight into two key industrial disputes uses interviews and rarely-seen archival material.
The Ascott Martyrs, Writes Hill Press Sixteen women, some with babies in arms, were imprisoned in 1873 for supporting their striking farm worker husbands in the Oxfordshire village of Ascott Under Wychwood. This traumatic event led to riots, a reprieve from Queen Victoria, picketing being made legal in 1874, and local religious leaders no longer being appointed as magistrates.

The Sparrows’ Nest presents:
A talk by Iain McKay
The Revolutions of 1848 remain the most widespread revolutionary wave in European history. While remembered as essentially liberal in nature, aiming at ending the old monarchical regimes they were also note-worthy for the advent of the industrial working class as a factor in social struggle. So as well as political change, the social question was raised while the events of 1848 shaped the ideas of Marx and Proudhon. So on their 150th anniversary, we look at the 1848 revolutions and their lessons for today.
Saturday June 23rd 3pm at The Sparrows’ Nest, Nottingham.

Sheffield Public Meeting
NO WAR BUT THE CLASS WAR: PUBLIC MEETING/DISCUSSION
When: 30 June 2018 at 1400hrs
Where: The Rutland Arms 86 Brown St. Sheffield S1 2BS
As capitalism’s economic crisis deepens our rulers are determined to make the working class pay for it by increasing exploitation and reducing wages and living conditions.
All across the world, the capitalists and their political puppets are also trying to prevent any united working class fightback by widening divisions in the working class, such as nationality, race, ethnicity, religion, gender and sexual preference. The xenophobia whipped up before and after the Brexit campaign, the Trump election campaign and the election campaigns of nationalist governments in Hungary and Poland are a few recent examples of what is happening and what is to come.
At the same time national states are trying to push the crisis onto capitalists of other states or blocs of states by trade wars. And history tells us that trade wars are the prelude to shooting wars. While imperialist proxy wars continue to rage in the Middle East, Africa and Eastern Europe, and while a new conflict with Iran is being stoked up, increasingly intense global conflicts are being prepared.
Nationalism is the main tool being used to recruit workers to support their rulers in these wars. No faction of the capitalist class is worth supporting and none is “a lesser evil”! The alternative is not to do nothing. There are already voices being raised under the banner of “No war but the class war!” to challenge the fate that the capitalists are preparing for us.

Manchester Histories Festival
This year's festival, the fifth edition of the Greater Manchester-wide biennial event, has as its theme protest, democracy, and freedom of speech. It runs from 7 until 11 June, and includes a TUC Day on Friday 8 June to mark the 150th anniversary, incorporating a radical Salford walking tour which starts at the Library giving participants a chance to see our TUC exhibition The Power of Unity (walk starts 10.15am, arrive at the Library any time from 9.30am), and Dave Haslam interviewing TUC General Secretary Frances O'Grady.
The Manchester Histories Celebration Day returns on Sunday 10 June from 12noon till 4pm at its new venue for 2018: Manchester Central Library. There will be choirs, talks and crafts as well as stalls from over 60 different groups. Come and say hello to us at the Library stall! We'll have a brand-new pop-up banner highlighting acquisitions we've been making as part of our Voting for Change project.
Walking tours
On Thursday 14 June there will be two anti-fascist, radical and working class history tours as part of the 0161 Festival. Woven within the walk will be stories about Peterloo, the Spanish Civil War and the role of the International Brigades, the birth of the vegetarian movement, Chartism, women’s suffrage and Manchester’s links to Engels and Marx, as well as Manchester anti-fascists. This will all be depicted alongside ordinary Mancunians living their lives in historic and contemporary Manchester.
Tours will run at 12 noon (this tour finishes at the Working Class Movement Library, with time for a browse of our ground floor displays) and 4pm. Tickets £5, limited to 20 per tour. Approx. time 3 hours.
Invisible Histories talks
Our next free talk is on Wednesday 6 June at 2pm when David Swift will speak on The war and the workers: the labour movement and the home front during WW1.
"The First World War brought with it many trials for the working men and women of Great Britain: from food prices to rent increases, disability and bereavement, the war exacerbated existing difficulties and created fresh challenges. Nonetheless the labour movement, under the auspices of the Workers' National Committee, came together to try and protect the position of the working class, and fought to ensure that the country which emerged in 1918 was different from that of 1914. This talk will reveal how the Left put sectionalism aside and was able, against the odds, to win important victories for the workers of Britain."
Further talks in the series are:
20 June Film - Socialists, suffragists, pacifists and cyclists!: the last Clarion House
4 July Invisible Histories digitisation project - Seeing the hidden, hearing the unheard

Document of the Month feature
showcasing some of the awesome documents in our collections.
2018 is a year of big anniversaries: 170 years since the 1848 Revolutions (we have an event coming up about those uprisings on June 23rd), 50 years since the summer of 1968, 100 years since the end of WW1 and the beginning of the brief German Revolution of 1918-19, etc.
We shall focus on 1968 for now, especially in the run-up to the event this weekend [2-3 June] remembering and celebrating the 1968 Revolts, organised with a number of other groups, notably People's Histreh.
So our Document of the Month for May is an issue of Anarchy from July 1968 about the "Maydays in France".Anarchy is a fascinating and beautiful publication, which ran through a couple of incarantions in the 1960s and 1970s. This issue is from the first run of this journal, published by Colin Ward et al, once more featuring a memorable cover design. There are quite a few more issues of Anarchy in the Digital Library, more than enough to pass a rainy afternoon.
