Elected on an explicitly racist agenda, Donald Trump is already fulfilling his hard right pledges, while appointing climate change deniers and corporate CEOs to his cabinet. Thankfully his presidency is already provoking significant resistance. Yet his poisonous brand of nationalist populism is growing elsewhere too. In France fascist Marine Le Pen reached the second round of the presidential election. In the Philippines, recently elected president Rodrigo Duterte encourages the extra-judicial killing of drug users and plans to reinstate the death penalty, while the Hindu chauvinist prime minister Narendra Modi is tightening his grip on power in India.

Is this the outcome of 40 years of growing inequality under globalisation? And what can progressives and social movements do to resist the populist right and build real alternatives? Join us to discuss the political situation in the UK after the election and the fight for global justice in the age of Trumpism.

The event also includes workshops on opposing the post-Brexit UK-US trade deal (or ‘TTIP on steroids’), defending migrant rights, and fighting corporate power in the age of Trumpism.
