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.

We seek to maintain and expand solidarity with the black workers and their allies in the Caribbean as well as being part of the anti-racist struggle in Britain.

This aims to take reparative action in response to USPG’s shameful links to slavery on the Codrington Estate, Barbados.
Are they doing enough to apologise and make restitution?
How have they dealt with the record of enslavers?
Is the money they are offering adequate?
How does all this fit into the modern campaign for Reparations?
Brazil is a giant, from the geographic, economic, industrial and population viewpoints. Brazil is also a founder member of the BRICS, and has weighty influence in Latin America and the world. Thus, it has become a target of Trump’s heavy interference and aggression.
