25.01.2022 March 7, 1965 - hundreds of civil rights activists marched out of Selma on Highway 80, lead by John Lewis and Hosea Williams to protest segregation and demonstrate the desire of African American’s right to vote. Protestors were confronted by state troopers and a county posse at Edmend Pettus Bridge where violence broke out, instigated by the troopers. 17 marchers were hospitalised, including John Lewis and march organiser Amelia Boynton, and 50 were treated for lesser injurie...s. The events were publicised in the media, gaining worldwide coverage. This day is known as Bloody Sunday by the African American community. It was the first of three incredibly important Selma to Montgomery marches which had a powerful impact on the civil rights movement. After seeing the events of Bloody Sunday on TV, President Lyndon B. Johnson met with Governor George Wallace in Washington to discuss the civil rights situation in Alabama. On the 15th of March, President Johnson presented the bill for Voting Rights Act to congress; a bill that was passed on the 6th of August that year - a monumental achievement made possible by the organisers and activists who fought so hard for the rights of African Americans. #selma #civilrights #bloodysunday #johnlewis #ameliaboynton #hoseawilliams #LBJ #votingrightsact #1965 #organise #campaign #activists

24.01.2022 Born on this day, Martin Luther King Jr would have turned 97. His words and actions continue to inspire progressives across the world to enact change and improve lives. Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love. #MLK #progressives #bornthisday

We gave voice to the values of inspiring social democrats and progressives across the globe with another podcast season of Socially Democratic (available each Friday!) And we moved into our new office space that doubles as a set from a Wes Anderson film.

02.01.2022 The Dunn Street story starts with the names of McArdle, Deane and Donnelly. These are the names of Irish immigrants that fled great hunger and the crown for nineteenth century, industrial Glasgow. Though they experienced racism, poverty and unemployment, through organisations like the Catholic workers clubs, trade unions, the Labour Party and the Celtic Football Club they organised and found their voice.... Seeking out better opportunities and new beginnings, their sons and daughters took to the seas once more. Like Kelly, Keating and Carmody, they came to Australia. The Irish, along with so many other migrant stories helped shape our nation. So, on this seventeenth of March, all be it in smaller, isolated gatherings, we celebrate the feast of Saint Patrick. From Melbourne to Boston, Cork to Queens, Dublin to the streets of Free Derry, raise your parting glass to the wearing of the green. Happy Saint Patricks Day
