Public meeting: 8.15pm Thursday 17 April - Cuba: what next for the Castro regime?

Following the recent announcement of Fidel's abdication and his brother's appointment as el presidente, the Brighton and Hove branch of the Socialist Party discuss possible next steps for the Stalinist dictatorship. Our guest speaker is Tony Saunois, a prominent member of the Committee for a Workers' International and a well respected author on Latin America and Che Guevara. Meet at 8.15pm Thursday 17 April upstairs at the Phoenix Community Centre, Phoenix Place, Brighton (see map in the left column). Everyone is welcome.

Who are we?

The Socialist Party fights for a democratic socialist society where the present rule of big business and profit is ended and people's needs come first.

We are affliated to the Committee for a Workers' International (CWI) which is organised in more than 40 countries helping to unite working class and oppressed peoples against global capitalism. We help organise campaigns in workplaces, trade unions, schools, universities and communities. We fight against privatisations, cuts, fees, job losses, repossessions, war and attacks on homes, pensions and the NHS.

The Socialist Party branch in Brighton and Hove has a proud history of fighting for the city's working class, particularly our members and city councillors from Militant who led the victorious anti-Poll Tax movement of the late 80s and early 90s that brought down the Thatcher government.

In the past few years we have helped to secure Brighton's council homes for future generations against privatisation, campaigned to defend jobs and homes caused by the capitalist recession, fought against post office and nursery closures, supported working people taking action to defend their pay, pensions and conditions from attack, led protests against job losses, public service cuts and the privatisation and the dismantling of the NHS, and fought against academy plans to privatise the running of our schools. We have been key to the Brighton Stop the Cuts Coalition, and helped initiate and build the youth movement against fees and EMA cuts in Brighton at the end of 2010.
