Taking a clear stand against the frame-up conviction of #LucyLetby is an elementary act of defending the interest of all workers against injustice and the attacks by the bosses on our livelihoods and working conditions. We urge the left to endorse the protest and to join us on 17 March in Liverpool.

The campaign to #FreeLucyLetby is gathering steam and our protest on 17 March in Liverpool is galvanising the forces who want to show their support to her, including some who have been consistent defenders of Lucy Letby.

We appreciate the shoutout from Carl Perkins
