Minnie Stacey reviews the free events to celebrate the life of Joe
Hill held at the Adelphi Hotel, Liverpool on 21st November. Joe
Hill was a creative campaigner, a union activist, free speech agitator,
songwriter, cartoonist, satirist and poet, who was executed a hundred
years ago in the state of Utah. Liverpool's News from Nowhere radical
bookshop and Nerve Magazine chose to organise a celebration of his
life by staging John Fay's play 'The Joe Hill Dream' in an afternoon
of rhyme, reason and song. |

The climate of racism against immigrants and Muslims, together with
harsh and uncertain economic circumstances, have created conditions
that have allowed the Nazis to grow. This conference argues that
anti-fascist groups/activist from across our movement need opportunities
to come together to learn lessons from each other and our history.
This enables us build effective strategies to fight fascism now.
New activists need to be developed and supported through education
and actions. |

John Owen reports on the Momentum Conference held in the Florrie
Centre with the aim of rejuvenating the Labour movement after Jeremy
Corbyn's victory. Approximately 120 people attended the debate.
Outside was a raging storm, inside the brewing of a political storm.
The atmosphere was pleasant, amicable even, tense and disturbing,
free flowing and rambunctious, aggressive and thorough, principled
and fair. Following on from the massive surge of the support for
Corbyn in the leadership election, attempting to shift the Labour
party to the left, the mood for a continuing battle with Cameron
is still on. |

Joe Hill (1879-1915) was a songwriter and union activist, framed
and then executed by the state of Utah. His creative way of campaigning
and organising has relevance today for those fighting for workers’
rights. There is a free event to celebrate his life on Sat Nov 21st
at the Adelphi Hotel with music, poetry, discussion and the play,
The Joe Hill Dream, which will also go on tour around Liverpool
and the North West.

I am James Jones's mother, one of five Love Activists sentenced
to ten weeks prison last week, and writing this article is my way
of dealing with my emotions. When someone dies or perhaps your teenage

is sent to prison, it feels like the world stops. |

like good tea in an unchipped white cup. |

John Owen reports on the rally for Jeremy Corbyn held at the Adelphi
Hotel, Liverpool on 1st August 2015.
Approximately 2000 people turned up for the
biggest socialist gathering in 50 years. I arrived and saw people
being turned away from the outside door but then realised the event
was inaccessible. Some had gone to the bar, others hung around squeezing
into the door frames just to experience some of the excitement.
It was huge. |

A play by Howard Zinn being performed at The Casa, Hope Street.
Karl Marx has agitated with the authorities of the afterlife for
a chance to clear his name. Through a bureaucratic error, though,

Paul Tarpey interviews Gina Shaw, who after being diagnosed with
Alzheimer's, has been campaigning to create a dementia friendly
society. The word ‘dementia’ carries a power in itself.

time since her own diagnosis on challenging them. |

A writer and activist from Germany takes a look at the international community in Bosnia
and Herzegovina.
For five months now I have been living in Sarajevo,
Bosnia and Hercegovina. I have six more months to go. During this
time I have been repeatedly approached by friends and acquaintances
asking me if I would consider writing a blog about my experiences.
The idea of openly writing about my life here and the people I share
it with provokes pure antipathy in me. |

This feature by Sandra Gibson was inspired by her watching the BBC
drama series, Wolf Hall.
History aficionados will be waiting eagerly
for Hilary Mantel to write the follow-up to the excellent Wolf
Hall, the everyday story of Tudor wives, written about a time
when power cuts did not so much apply to the candle bill but rather,
affected the neck. The series on BBC 2 was permeated with the threat
of death: from plague, from childbirth, from religious heresy, from
rivalries at court. |

Column by Sandra Gibson which celebrates the persistence of wildlife
in urban conditions.
As I walked along the quay of the Albert Dock
I noticed piles of broken shards of mussel shells on the paving
stones. It surprised me how much liquid was released by these shattered
blue-black caskets of edible gold, which had already disappeared
down the gullets of gulls. Of course, I had often watched blackbirds
using the smash-shell-and-devour-snail technology of avian cuisine
but this was the first time I had seen it used by gulls. |

On Saturday 14th February, 2015 the most militant and most active
forces in the city's campaign groups put differences aside and gathered
together to help thrash out a policy to unify the anti-cuts movement
against the growing tide of government cutbacks. All lines of inquiry,
tactic stratagem and slogans - as well as the more traditional standing
of candidates - wrestled against pro-cuts councilors. It was awkward,
messy and protracted yet democratic and kept to the point. |

For the musician with a sense of jet set adventure and an appetite
for discovery and development of their craft, there is no better
destination than New York City. Taking a bite at the Big Apple is
like investing in a lifelong harmonious seed planting which, if
nurtured through practice, will continue to bear fruit with that
well known adage ‘what you sow so you shall reap’....
Intrepid travel across the pond can and will increase a performer’s
insight and ability to enrich their business of making music, or
at the very least, as part of a musical hobby horse it will be an
engaging and eye opening time. |

Column by Sandra Gibson which celebrates the persistence of wildlife
in urban conditions.
By banishing leaves, winter reveals line and
structure; in creating decay and cold temperatures it brings cultivated
grass into prominence. The eye is struck by the fresh brightness
of green in gardens and in public spaces, which contrasts so strongly
with the brown of decay and the relative rarity of floral colour.

Column by Sandra Gibson which celebrates the persistence of wildlife
in urban conditions.
Winter exposes the bare-branched filigree wonder
of our deciduous trees. For a brief time the emphasis is on linear
structure rather than plenteous shapes and colours. This is not
entirely true: the bareness of these trees also emphasises the evergreenery
of conifers and ivies and reveals more sky, with its perpetually
changing drama of colour. |
| - Starts: 13/1/2015

interest in post-punk, new romantic or the fashions of many other
rock movements you will have seen a picture he took and his book
is a collection that focuses on a scene that developed from Eric’s
in the late 70s but still inflames the city and its culture. |
