**DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND MOVED TO A BIGGER VENUE**

The rise of populist nationalism means politicians like Donald Trump and Theresa May claim a popular mandate for their anti-Muslim, misogynist, and anti-immigrant politics. They freely ignore mass demonstrations and fuel populism and polarisation through a corporate media.

Labour struggles have often formed the basis for resistance to attacks on the masses. The rise of insecure work and attacks on trade union rights have weakened workplaces as a site of resistance. Workers on precarious contracts face instant dismissal and move between jobs quickly to escape exploitation. Women and migrant workers have long struggled to be represented by movements that focus on workers alone.

Come hear from activists who are moving beyond symbolic protest, to actions that build power through striking beyond the workplace:

How do we move beyond symbolic protest?

How do we resist in ways that can claim back power for the marginalised: precarious workers, women, Muslims and migrants?

How do we build capacity for joint action across society?

How do we strike today?
