ONCE activists and campaigners have had the chance to catch their breath following Thursday’s local elections and before the next general election gets into gear, a Morning Star and Manifesto Press-sponsored Red University will be held, where ideas can be explored and policy developed, to meet the major challenges faced by the peoples’ movements.
Eyes will turn east as Morning Star Readers and Supporters Groups across the East of England respond to a lead given by supporters in Cambridge who are organising a day of discussion, debate and mobilisation. The Red Uni has the support of a wide range of organisations, including local trades councils and the People’s Assembly.
The event will be held in the famous neo-Georgian Guildhall in Market Square — you cannot get more central to the city or accessible than that — on Saturday June 1. The Guildhall is the seat of government in the city and its most prominent civic building, which has deep historic roots having housed a synagogue as early as the 1220s, a prison and a Franciscan convent.
