13 Red Wedge Live events
The Communist Party centenary is going ‘live and direct,’ explains PHIL KATZ

SATURDAY August 1 2020 will mark 100 years since the foundation of the Communist Party. Undeterred by the restriction placed on political activity by the Covid-19 pandemic, the party invites readers of the Morning Star, supporters, trade union and women’s movement activists, to visit our website www.communistparty.org.uk/centenary.

How else would you expect Communists to mark their centenary other than by educating, agitating and organising for socialism? We want you to join us in the celebration too.

The CP invites you — on Saturday August 1 — to register for a number of our 13 Red Wedge live events. You can register now at https://www.communistparty.org.uk/centenary-red-wedge-events/
