This event brings together groups who have suffered miscarriages of justice or are fighting for justice from the state. Working class people and communities are routinely denied basic legal protections. When tragedy occurs, they’re often smeared and attacked by politicians and the press, whilst their demands go unrecognised. How can communities self-organise to support one another?
