The rise of populist nationalism means politicians like Donald Trump and Theresa May claim a popular mandate for their anti-Muslim, misogynist, and anti-immigrant politics. They freely ignore mass demonstrations and fuel populism and polarisation through a corporate media.
Labour struggles have often formed the basis for resistance to attacks on the masses. Yet the rise of insecure work and attacks on trade union rights have made unions weaker. Workers on precarious contracts often face instant dismissal and move between jobs to escape exploitation making workplace resistance difficult. Both women and migrant workers have fought to be represented by groups that focus on workers.
Come hear from European activists who are moving beyond symbolic protest, to actions that build power through striking beyond the workplace:
* How do we move beyond symbolic protest?
* How do we resist in ways that can claim back power for the
marginalised: precarious workers, women, Muslims and migrants?
* How do we build capacity for joint action across society?
* How do we strike today?
