Thank you Cathal from the YCL and Muhammad from the Jordanian Democratic Youth League for your session on a Palestinian State: A Right Not a Gift.

A ceasefire is not an end to apartheid, a free Palestinian state, or a right to return. The fight against Zionism continues ✊️🇵🇸

Cathal has asked us to promote this fundraiser for first aid and rehabilitation rooms in Tulkarem in the West Bank. Please support and share.

Just packed up these 13 volumes of Stalin's Collected Works. Very sad to see them go, but glad they're away to a good home! If anyone has another set that they're wanting to pass on, just let us know 😉

Until then, we still have the reprints of Vol. 1 -4 from Iskra, and more on the way! Every article is a valuable read for any worker in struggle. So make sure to check them out! 🚩

Join us this Saturday 10-6 for Glasgow Doors Open Day 2025! Drop in and explore Glasgow's socialist bookshop with a vast collection of new and second-hand books. There will be a special display of banners, newspapers and pamphlets on the day. We are volunteer run and guides will be available.

For architecture enthusiasts, a chance to visit the B listed former New Bridgegate Church. Designed (c.1915) by Thomson, Sandilands & Macleod in the Scots Gothic style with a massive traceried west window and a tower with a short spire. The impressive external and internal Great War memorials will also be open to view.

We're proud to be part of sharing Glasgow's cultural heritage. And to check out the many other events and open buildings in Glasgow this weekend, head to https://glasgowdoorsopendays.org.uk/ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚩
