Remember 1989: rally at the Embassy and around the UK
This Thursday marks 37 years since the mass democracy movement of 1989 and the Tiananmen Square massacre. Join protests and vigils around the world to remember and continue the struggles of everyone who stood up in 1989: from the protesters in the square who demanded an end to dictatorship, to the workers who built independent unions and demanded workplace democracy.
Some of us will join the vigil in London organised by our friends at June 4 Sparks. We also list some other events around the UK below. Please note, we are not organising these events and we don't know what's planned for each beyond the details at each link - we are sharing for information. We encourage all supporters to bring messages of international solidarity between all workers and oppressed peoples of the world, for democratic and workers' rights, for liberation and equality.
