We work to unite all those who support equality, democracy, justice and social progress in the Caribbean. We will support all who recognise that the struggle against racism, fascism, imperialism and neo-colonialism in the Caribbean requires the building of strong international links between the working people there and their sisters and brother globally.

Britain’s Industrial Revolution was, in large part, made possible by the capital accumulation generated by the “business of slavery,” and the genesis of Britain’s banking and insurance industries can be traced to this same “business”.
The enclosure of common land in England was often financed by the profits from slavery. The effects of slavery are still with us. Sugar, the foremost product of the Caribbean colonies, has left a worldwide legacy of ill-health. And the fossil-fuel based industry, which the profits of slavery helped create, has caused the current climate … Read on ...
