Episode Details

The two articles which became the WL conference document. They received slight amendments. For the final version as passed see https://workersliberty.org/story/2020-01-21/fighting-climate-crises-awl-conference-document-201920 Workers’ Liberty conference document, passed January 2020. We submit, discuss, and debate documents and amendments to those documents at our annual all-member conferences. These documents shape and clarify our activism and political approach in the following period; reflecting on that preceding. “Fighting climate crises” was written in 2019’s wave of climate activism — Youth strikes, XR, Reclaim the Power, Labour for a Green New Deal, and more — and before the general election which made us postpone our conference slightly. We passed it just before Covid-19 became a significant force in society. It is a wide-ranging document on the activist strategy and political perspectives needed in the fight against climate change. (See also features throughout this pamphlet on organising in and around climate strikes, XR, LGND/Labour.)
