Friday 10th July  Eve of Miners Gala public meeting on history

6pm – 7.30pm Durham City Methodist Church, 8 Old Elvet, Durham, DH1 3HL

Rise will be at Durham Miners’ Gala and on the eve of the Gala, we’re
hosting an essential conversation about the past, present and future of
working-class struggle.
The political, economic & social period we’re living through is
overwhelming. It’s hard to know where to begin. How do we build power?
How do we challenge the conditions shaping our lives and communities?
We’re bringing together voices from historic struggles including those
involved in the 1984–85 Miners’ Strike alongside organisers of working
class struggle today. We’ll explore the lessons of the past and how we
use that wisdom to win now.
Speaker details coming soon.

between 10am and 4pm. Victoria Hall, Norfolk Street, Sheffield city centre

Sheffield Transformed have teamed up with Troublemakers at Work to put on an event aimed at trade union members with an interest in becoming more active.

Building Worker Power is a workshop on trade union activism aimed at members who want to develop their skills as organisers. There’ll be practical guidance on protecting workers’ rights, organising in the workplace, and building campaigns. There’ll be the chance to meet other trade unionists, ask questions, and draw on our collective experience.

Tickets are available at troublemakersat.work/sheffield and we have produced a model motion for branches to consider. If you branch is able to make a donation, take the motion to Trades Council, include information about the event in your communications to members or on social media, or discuss the event in your branch meetings we would be very grateful!

If you have any questions about the event or the motion, please be in touch.

In solidarity,

Jess on behalf of Sheffield Transformed
