MPs Jeremy Corbyn, Nadia Whittome and Ian Byrne are just some of the speakers at this year’s The World transformed, being held in Liverpool from September 24th to 27th, alongside the annual Labour Party Conference.
Nearly 100 different events are planned in a packed programme of political discussion and education. Highlights include:
- Act on Forde: Sabotage and Abuse: Jeremy Corbyn MP, Len McCluskey and Bel Ribeiro-Addy MP are part of larger platform, looking at the Forde Report’s findings and recommendations, which, in the words of Jeremy Corbyn, “have been met with total silence from Labour’s leadership.”
- Beyond Borders: is it Possible and How Do We Get There? With Nadia Whittome MP and others
- Academics Jeremy Gilbert and Alex Williams discussing their new book Hegemony Now on what the left needs to do next following the defeat of the Corbyn project
- Follow the Money to Defund Climate Chaos, with Richard Burgon MP and others
- Building a National Right to Food Movement with Ian Byrne MP and others
- Defend our right to strike and resist! With trade union leaders Kevin Courtney and Mick Whelan and Olivia Blake MP.
There are also internationalist events, with Colombian Senator María José Pizarro joining MPs Ian Byrne and Kim Johnson for a Q and A about recent events in her country and Asad Rehman, executive director of War on Want, discussing How do we do Internationalism?
There are cultural events too with a Troops Out Movement Exhibition, a Cost of Living Cabaret, Life Drawing and a Poetry Workshop. The award-winning documentary film Powerlands, highlighted recently on Labour Hub, will be screened.
There’s plenty of fun too, including a Pub Quiz, hosted by Zarah Sultana MP.
TWT are also hosting the Socialist Campaign Group of Labour MPs Rally on Tuesday September 27th at 7pm, with MPs Jeremy Corbyn, John McDonnell, Diane Abbott, Rebecca Long-Bailey and many more.
The World Transformed (TWT) works to support, develop and deliver political education across the UK in order to build a movement capable of radically transforming society. Its annual four-day festival of politics, arts and music began in 2016 and has since become the biggest political education event in the UK.
