SUNDAY 26 APRIL

ITALIAN ANTIFA SOLIDARITY

7pm - 10pm at ACE

https://www.facebook.com/events/1562740623950878/

    On the 25th of April 1945 Italy was liberated from nazifascism with the crucial support of working class, communists and anarchist partisans. 70 years later we want to celebrate Italian liberation day with a solidarity event with Italian Anfitascists and Autonomous attacked by the repression of the state and neofascists groups supported by the establishment. We believe that anti fascism today means fighting for housing and welfare for all against austerity and neoliberal reforms, against borders and discriminations. The event also is aimed at providing solidarity with specific struggles like the one of Dordoni Autonomous Centre (Cremona), under attack from fascists and the state.
