THE LABOUR Party will be holding a Polish solidarity rally, with speakers from the labour movement and possibly Solidarnose militants, in March.
The provisional date and venue is Tuesday March 9, 7.30 at Central Hall, Westminster.
After discussions between Socialist Organiser and other signatories to the Labour Movement Solidarity Appeal (including Socialist Challenge and the EESC) we have agreed to work together to establish local campaigns, where possible based on local cils.
These labour movement campaigns should establish contacts with the Polish Solidarity Campaign of a friendly nature, allowing the maximum degree of cooperation.
In Coventry a Polish Solidarity Committee is being set up on Friday February 5. Plans for a meeting with a Solidarnose speaker, from which a labour movement based committee will emerge, are also proceeding in Northampton.
Such initiatives should be exténded throughout the country.
The Labour Fund Appeal put out by London Labour Briefing, which we publish here, could be a way of getting the ball rolling in your area. The money collected will be going to Polish workers' organisations in Poland, or to the Solidarnosc TU Working Group in the UK.
Invite speakers from this trade union group to visit factories, union branches, Labour Parties, or other meetings. Contact: c/o 64 Philbeach Gardens, Earls Court, London SW5, tel. 01-373 3492).
