Party politics getting you down? Want to see actions not factions?

Join the movement taking matters into its own hands, and together we will rebuild Wales from the ground up.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🚩 Owain Glyndŵr Dydd! 🚩🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

If Glyndŵr was around today, he'd be in our ranks as a Socialist-Republican ✊

Cofiwch Glyndŵr!

625 years ago the Glyndŵr Rebellion began. In a daring revolt, the last true Prince of Wales struck a blow against English rule and in doing so laid down an example for each generation to follow.

Statue of Owain Glyndŵr riding a horse and raising his sword in the air. Next to him is a building flying the flag of his dynasty.

the base of Glyndŵr's statue has a bunch of flowers laid on it, and reads "Owain Glyndŵr, Y Mab Darogan - The Foretold Son, 1349-1416, Cerflun gan / Sculpture by Colin Spofforth"

on the railing around the statue bunting of the flag of Glyndŵr is hung.

As we face down the threat of capitalist imperialism, anglophone hegemony and an increasingly violent fascist movement, our struggle today for class liberation and national survival is a continuation of what Glyndŵr started.

Cofiwch y Gwrthryfel! Cofiwch Glyndŵr!

With the statue of Owain Glyndŵr in the background, a banner reads "Dydd Owain Glyndŵr, Medi 16 September" and bears the coat of arms of Glyndŵr

Bailiffs are scum, we don't want them in our communities and we don't want them in our country.

We urge every one of our supporters to join ACORN, because this union is fighting to kick bailiff leeches out of Wales.

ACORN the union @acornunion.bsky.social · Sep 10

NEW CAMPAIGN 🚨

Right now, people are pushed into poverty when councils send in bailiffs for council tax debt.

But there’s another way.

Together, we can stop this. Together, we can have dignity not debt. Together, we can make Britain Bailiff Free👇

Anti-imperialism has never been a choice - it has always been a necessity.

international struggle against imperialism.
We condemn without reservation the terroristic actions of imperialism’s rabid dog, the zionist

Party statement on the terroristic murder of the Yemeni Prime minister by the zionist entity.

🇾🇪🚩🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 UNDOD AM BYTH 🇾🇪🚩🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

YEMENI PRIME MINISTER MURDERED BY THE ZIONIST ENTITY

In a cowardly act of terror, the zionist entity has assassinated Yemen’s Prime Minister Ahmed
Ghaleb al-Rahwi along with nine other officials.
This attack targeted the only nation that has acted upon its obligations under international law:
to resist, by any means necessary, the ongoing genocide in Palestine.

The ceaseless slaughter of the Palestinian people is held back only by direct resistance. While
the rulers of the Arab nations, the client states of imperialism, turned their eyes away, the people
and government of Yemen refused to look aside.
They assumed their humanitarian duty, enforcing a blockade against israel despite the risks.
Many have given their lives for this unwavering commitment to anti-imperialism

$The British state cannot be absolved of its complicity. It continues to arm Saudi Arabia and israel, providing the weapons used to bomb Yemen and to enforce the genocide in Gaza. Yet the Yemeni people endured, steadfast in their resistance. If even a fraction of us possessed their courage, the zionist entity would already lie dismantled, its ashes scattered to the wind.$

The rise of the far right is one of the biggest threats to working class communities today.

The far right, funded by tax-avoiding big businesses and the billionaire class, seeks to sow division – pitting us against each other with rhetoric on immigration, gender identity and gender roles.

We stand against this by working alongside existing efforts to build community education, action, resistance, and above all, class consciousness.

We oppose Transphobia, racism, homophobia, misogny, fascism, Zionism,
and chauvinism in all its forms.

A concrete understanding of the conditions of the working class is more imperative than ever, and the history of the Merthyr Rising emphasises the importance of a truly organised and politically guided working class to challenge Capital.

We didn’t see this at all - do you have a poster and contact details for this commemoration?

This weekend has been organised by Cymdeithas Goffadwriaethau
Cenedlaethol but that was set up by a member of ours so we can make sure they’re not calling double demonstrations.
