Alex Brown, Sheffield Socialist Party
The Socialist Party called a public meeting in the days after the Sheffield Enough is Enough rally.
We gave out piles of leaflets to advertise our meeting, and 54 people turned up, packing out the meeting room – the biggest Sheffield Socialist Party meeting in years. 13 of these joined the Socialist Party in the last two months.
Three school students were at their first meeting. And a third of the meeting were not members of the Socialist Party… yet. 60% of the room we didn’t know three months ago.
Debate
There was a lively debate, and this carried on informally in the pub afterwards.
The Socialist Party is clear, we must fight for public ownership of energy companies and other key industries. And to win, we need coordinated strike action, a new mass workers’ party to fight for our class, and a socialist alternative to capitalism.
