The Ford Maguire Society presents:

The Leylands Riots of June 1917

Wednesday, 19th September, at 7pm Northern School of Contemporary Dance 98 Chapeltown Road, Leeds LS7 4BH

On 3rd and 4th June 1917, Leeds experienced some of the worst rioting in its history, when thousands of its inhabitants stormed into the Leylands district of the city, vandalising the homes, communal buildings and business premises of the city’s large Jewish community. This lecture will commence with an examination of both the long-term trends and the immediate causes of this outrage. The major events will then be thoroughly analysed and, finally, the roles of the police, the judiciary, the local press and the national government will all be critically assessed

Speaker: Dr David Beeston

After the Irish vote: the fight for abortion rights

Public meeting – Thursday 28 June – 7pm Leeds Swarthmore Centre, 2-7 Woodhouse Square, LS3 1AD all welcome – hosted by Leeds Socialist Workers Party

Come and hear an eyewitness report from Dublin after Ireland’s historic
landslide two-to-one vote last month to repeal the 8th Amendment and to liberalise abortion laws.

The vote was was the result of relentless campaigning over decades and of massive grassroots organisation. It was crucially a movement from below.

This is a huge victory and is of worldwide importance. It is a blow to conservative forces in Ireland and Britain that seek to control women’s bodies.
Come and hear a report of what Dublin was like on the day and join the discussion about the vote and its significance.
