We are everywhere
We are your nurses, firefighters and emergency responders. We collect your recycling and rubbish, we keep your water running, we make sure the lights stay on. We are your librarians and frontline public service staff. We protect public institutions from being transformed into tools of authoritarian control.
We demonstrate that another world is possible – one based on solidarity and equality rather than profit and exploitation. We fight for universal quality public services, fair taxation, and strong democratic institutions that serve the people.
