Women’s rights, not prisons and police

The Socialist Alliance released this statement on October 16.

***

Socialist Alliance is proud to gather with fellow feminists to Reclaim the Night around Australia in 2013.

Abbott's election will bring an escalation in attacks from the ruling class on the rest of society, attacks that the ALP laid the... READ MORE

Sat August 17, 2013

The Socialist Alliance is using the federal election to popularise the idea that we need bring mines, banks and power companies into democratic public ownership. Here are five reasons why this is a good idea.
