Socialism 2019 lead organiser Sarah Sachs-Eldridge says:

"Socialism 2019 will be the biggest socialist general election preparation event there is. We will be preparing to go out and fight for anti-austerity policies - but also for what comes after.

"We believe Jeremy Corbyn can win with bold socialist policies that point to the end of: food bank usage, homelessness, cuts to our public services and NHS, tuition fees, privatisation and all the pain of austerity.

"Socialism 2019 will prepare to fight to defend an anti-austerity government against the attempts to sabotage it by all its enemies in the Tories - but also among the Blairites - like those who didn't vote for the general election.

"The highlight of the weekend will be the Saturday night rally where we will bring everyone together - from the leaders of the Militant Tendency and the Socialist Party, to student and trade union leaders, to climate strikers, postal workers about to strike and hundreds of trade union, socialist and community campaigners, this will be a rally that brings together the best and most determined fighters for a socialist alternative to Tory misery and capitalist crisis.

"We will also use the rally to celebrate the life of Tony Mulhearn, a socialist leader in Liverpool when the city council under the leadership of Militant defeated Thatcher in the 1980s.

"The full schedule of workshops includes discussion on all the major issues we face in this election and beyond. From Brexit to environmental crisis, from the fight against sexism to the development of artificial intelligence, we will discuss the big questions of today."

Info

The Socialist Party is a campaigning, democratic organisation. Our members played a leading role on Liverpool Labour council in the 1980s when it defied Thatcher and refused to implement cuts, winning £60 million to spend on jobs and services in the city.
Socialist Party members were among the leaders of the struggle in the late 80s and early 90s when 18 million people nationwide refused to pay the hated Poll Tax.
We fight against all attacks on the rights and living standards of working class people and stand for a socialist alternative.

Finance appeal

The coronavirus crisis has laid bare the class character of society in numerous ways. It is making clear to many that it is the working class that keeps society running, not the CEOs of major corporations.

The results of austerity have been graphically demonstrated as public services strain to cope with the crisis.

The government has now ripped up its 'austerity' mantra and turned to policies that not long ago were denounced as socialist. But after the corona crisis, it will try to make the working class pay for it, by trying to claw back what has been given.

The Socialist Party's material is more vital than ever, so we can continue to report from workers who are fighting for better health and safety measures, against layoffs, for adequate staffing levels, etc.
When the health crisis subsides, we must be ready for the stormy events ahead and the need to arm workers' movements with a socialist programme - one which puts the health and needs of humanity before the profits of a few.
