The last few decades, in many parts of West Asia and North Africa, political Islam has grown to become a dominant force, especially in countries where wars and dictatorships have ravaged societies. Many of these movements are also very anti union and against indepenced labour organising. In many of the industrialised countries of the world we have witnessed a rising tide of xenophobia and Islamophobia against people from these countries. This in turn can have an impact in our ability to organise people from those communities. This Wednesday a public meeting will be held to discuss how the labour movement can confront both of these tendencies. All welcome, see here for leaflet. Wednesday 4 November 6pm, Evatt Room, 1st Floor Trades Hall, Lygon St, Carlton South
