November 20, 2025. How to run the economy for people and planet.

The Autumn budget is coming, and the government is singing a familiar tune. It’s a song of difficult choices, no money, and sensibly balancing Britain’s books. All the more difficult to believe after multi-billion splurges on military and dirty energy.

Workers Planet: Building working-class power for climate justice

October 11, Fuel For Thought LIVE in Manchester

We’re holding our first ever LIVE Fuel For Thought, at The World Transformed 2025 in Manchester.

It’s a big picture session called Whose energy? Rising bills, corporate capture and the dash for data. To cast a light on energy-use that’s steering us further into poverty, away from a real green transition, and towards climate breakdown.

Round-up! Wind and Solar: The Global Transition

Amal recaps our July Fuel For Thought educational session, which focuses on the “transition” away from fossil fuels.

July 17th, 2025. Wind and Solar: the Global Transition

This month, we’re going beyond the UK, towards a global view of the movement towards renewable energy.

June 19th, 2025: Wind and solar: avoiding an unjust transition

This month, we’re looking at the injustices in the transition to wind and solar.

Join us to discuss what we can do to ensure renewables don’t just become the fossil fuels of the future, but a paradigm shift that puts justice for people and the planet at its centre.

May 22nd, 2025: Build local power, win local change

This month’s educational session is more important than ever. With the Labour government abandoning vulnerable communities, we’re at a crossroads. How we organise now will make all the difference between a far right government in four years time, and winning a real alternative for the working classes and the planet.
