We are pleased to invite you to an online forum with speakers from the North American left who will discuss the growing threats of the Trump regime, the left’s response, and the developing grassroots resistance. As we all know, what is happening in Trump’s US threatens the whole world. We need to hear socialist and left perspectives on the fightback there to inform our solidarity here.
