SUMMARY:Always Red\, with Len McCluskey [online event]
DESCRIPTION:The major autobiography of a central player in a tumultuous period of British political history \n\n\n\nLen McCluskey is the standout trade unionist of his era. Head of the giant Unite union for more than a decade\, he is a unique and powerful figure on the political stage. \n\n\n\nIn this major autobiography\, McCluskey throws back the curtains on life at the top of the Labour movement—with explosive revelations about his dealings with Keir Starmer\, the behind-the-scenes battles of the Corbyn era\, his secret Brexit negotiations with Theresa May’s government\, the spectacular bust-up with his former friend Tom Watson\, and his tortuous relationship with Ed Miliband. \n\n\n\nMcCluskey is no run-of-the-mill trade unionist. Fiercely political\, unflinchingly left wing\, he is a true workers’ leader. His politics were formed in Liverpool at a time of dock strikes\, the Beatles\, and the May 1968 revolution in Paris. An eyewitness to the Hillsborough tragedy\, he recounts in harrowing detail searching for his son. \n\n\n\nWitty and sharp\, McCluskey delivers a powerful intervention\, issuing a manifesto for the future of trade unionism and urging the left not to lose sight of class politics. \n\n\n\nA central player in a tumultuous period of British political history\, McCluskey’s account is an essential—and entertaining—record of our times. \n\n\n\nSPEAKERS \n\n\n\nLen McCluskey\, general secretary of Unite the Union for more than a decade\, is a trade unionist from Liverpool. Elected a shop steward on the Liverpool docks aged 19\, he rose through the Transport and General Workers’ Union before playing an instrumental role in the creation of Unite. As its leader\, he became a national political figure and a powerful influence in the Labour Party. He is a lifelong supporter of Liverpool Football Club and the author of Why You Should Be A Trade Unionist. \n\n\n\n Chloe Schlosberg\, Director of Jeremy Corbyn’s Peace and Justice Project  \n\n\n\nHOW TO ACCESS THIS ONLINE EVENT \n\n\n\nAn invitation to this online event will be emailed to you on the day of the event.

SUMMARY:Commoning Care and Collective Power with Manuela Zechner [online event]
DESCRIPTION:Childcare Commons and the Micropolitics of Municipalism in Barcelona \n\n\n\nCommoning Care & Collective Power traces the twin genealogies of childcare commons and the micropolitics of municipalism in Barcelona. It shows how grassroots movements engaged new institutional experiments after Spain’s 15M movement\, marked by struggles for social reproduction and a new feminist politics\, leading towards commons municipalisms. Interested in both struggles for and to care\, this book looks across subjective and collective processes. Interdependence and autonomy\, care and micropolitics\, building power and commons\, neighbourhood and city: those are some of the terms brought into resonant tension. \n\n\n\nZechner honours the groundwork of mothers’ networks and commons nurseries\, telling of powerful webs and infrastructures of care in the neighbourhood of Poble Sec. Midwives\, mothers\, carers and councillors prefigure schools and cities of care\, as this book turns to explore how institutions are themselves sites of struggles to care. How to stay with the trouble of embodiment\, interdependence and collective learning\, even within institutional contexts? How might we grapple with the relation between movements and institutions? This book’s interweaving of concepts and experiences traces a powerful cycle of collective learning\, yielding new articulations between the commons and the public\, and channeling new feminist forces. \n\n\n\nSPEAKERS \n\n\n\nManuela Zechner is a researcher\, facilitator and cultural worker. She currently co-produces the Earthcare Fieldcast for translocal and transversal struggles across ecology and care\, and is building a Future Archive since 2005. \n\n\n\nStevphen Shukaitis is an academic worker. He likes to do things with his friends\, some of which end up making books: https://www.minorcompositions.info. \n\n\n\nHOW TO ACCESS THIS ONLINE EVENT \n\n\n\nAn invitation to this online event will be emailed to you on the day of the event.

SUMMARY:Small Town Girl\, with Donna McLean [online event]
DESCRIPTION:A memoir from a voice at the centre of the Spy Cops scandal \n\n\n\n“You live with someone for two years and then . . . they simply don’t exist.” \n\n\n\nOver four decades\, British undercover police deliberately and systematically started relationships with women in order to infiltrate protest groups. They lived with these women\, some had children with them\, and when the job was done they simply left. \n\n\n\nIt took over ten years for Donna to find out what really happened – and who her fiancee really was. Carlo was an undercover police officer. He targeted Donna and started a relationship with her so he could get close to her activist friends. Carlo had been leading a double life the whole time he was with Donna – with his own wife and son living a short distance away. \n\n\n\nWe have heard very little from the women at the heart of this extraordinary scandal. Most felt forced to accept anonymity. Donna decided to drop her pseudonym last year so she could tell her story in her own words and under her own name. Small Town Girl is that story. \n\n\n\nThe great love story of Donna McLean’s life wasn’t just built on lies\, it was one. With an inquiry underway\, Small Town Girl is a reclamation of a truth that was ruthlessly buried. \n\n\n\nSPEAKERS \n\n\n\nDonna McLean is a working class writer\, activist and mental health practitioner. She has written for several publications including the Guardian\, The Morning Star\, The Independent and the Telegraph. Donna has also published several pieces of short fiction\, including the 2020 anthology The Middle of a Sentence. Small Town Girl is her first book. \n\n\n\nand more tbc \n\n\n\nHOW TO ACCESS THIS ONLINE EVENT \n\n\n\nAn invitation to this online event will be emailed to you on the day of the event.
