(Socialist Party members with fellow comrades out and about in Brighton, London, Crawley and Hastings for the No2EU-Yes to democracy European Election campaign.)
Come along to our weekly meetings and find out about socialism and our group. Our two branches meet every Wednesday and Thursday evenings to discuss a featured topic followed by the organisation of our activities. These meetings are open to all and everyone is encouraged to join in and debate. Featured talks include issues ranging from the current failures of capitalism and defending jobs and homes, from pay and pension battles to helping protect the environment from big business pollution, etc. Our meeting topics are updated regularly on our news board so check out what we're up to and come along.
Youcan find us every Wednesday 6pm or Thursday 8.15pm at the Phoenix Community Centre near St Peter's Church as shown in the map above.
Branch stalls
Every Saturday lunchtime we'll be on the streets of Brighton talking to working people about socialism and for the need to change society for the benefit of all. Look out for us on one of our London Road or Churchill Square stalls where we campaign on local, national and international issues. On our stalls you will find a socialist bookshop, campaign petitions, local information and copies of our party paper, the socialist.
Our stall is open every Saturday lunchtime on London Road opposite Boots, or by the Churchill Square bus stops.
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 35 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 year we have helped to secure Brighton's council homes for future generations against privatisation, campaigned to defend jobs and homes caused by the crisis of capitalism, fought against post office closures, supported working people taking action to defend their pay, pensions and conditions from attack, led protests against the privatisation and the dismantling of the NHS and fought against academy plans to privatise the running of our schools.
