25.01.2022 Great article by Panos Petrou talking about the historic victory for anti-fascists in Greece. He is speaking at our forum tomorrow: 'Good Riddance Golden Dawn: the fight against fascism in Greece' - https://www.facebook.com/events/691529168426327 "The struggle against fascism, racism, intolerance and bigotry of course does not end here. We have many fights to come, as long as the system that produces and benefits from these vices remains in place. But the people with whom we ...can wage this struggle showed up today and declared that they are present. With the verdict, we took a big breath: Victory! circulating in the mouths of thousands of people is something precious and invaluable in the hard times through which we are living. We savour the images of the streets outside the courtroom, and on the streets of many cities and towns all around Greece filled with protestersa display of our collective strength. We will need to deploy this social force again and again in the coming struggles. We know that we have many fights against all kinds of injustice ahead of us. But just for today, we can sit back and smile happily for a change" See more

12.01.2022 Great podcast episode to listen to before our educational tomorrow on the Anti Nazi League. This podcast episode features our guest for tomorrow, veteran socialist and anti-racist activist Moira Leahy, who was involved in the Anti-Nazi League when it reformed in the 90s. It's a great listen on the strength of the Anti-Nazi League in bringing together large sections of people and groups who were determined to defeat the Nazi National Front in Britain in the 70s through mass action on the streets, and also goes through important lessons we can learn from the ANL for today. Come along tomorrow: CARF Educational: Never Again! Lessons from the Anti-Nazi League
