Requires Improvement return from their temporary ballot-hiatus to celebrate the huge recent ballot result of the premier education union in England and Wales, how everyone played their part in achieving it- and what we're thinking about as strikes are now planned in order to win the education funding dispute. 

Your co-hosts Lee, Nik, Charlie and Lauren talk about the recent conditions in the workplace,  and we look forward to an exciting future for trade unionism and organising in the education sector. How to build member confidence for striking and picket lines, the importance of building workplace solidarity and countering misinformation, why all members should be ready for a super fun time out on strike, and why scabs are ultimately losers of colossal proportions.

New Year Resolutions. (Aaargh).  I prefer 'intentions’. For you, and especially for ADHD'ers, like your podcast hosts, Clare Catford & Emma Mahony, are they just more 'To Do' list pressures? Or plans with potential? Podcast explores.

In episode 19, we take petty revenge on The Architectural Review who done stole our logo definitely probably. We ruthlessly critique their labour issue and it turns out it's kinda alright. Our broom is still bigger than theirs. And redder.

In this episode Russell chat's with Puru Miah about the community and trade union organising that undertakes in East London. Puru is also one of the founders of People's PPE - Philosophy, Politics and Economics - a programme, started in early 2016, of independent community education delivered through debates and seminars.

Puru discusses some of the similarities and differences to organising in a workplace setting and in a community setting, and provides a few examples of his organising.

As well as mentioning some of his key influences, such as Phil Piratin and David Harvey, Puru also provides some tips and advice for aspiring and budding organisers. A reading list and links to the numerous references Puru makes is available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1k8REDrRorxnyTnwRApgOeT1PdM2-3FhC/view?usp=share_link

Ep.37 - Community and trade union organising with Puru Miah

In the 2022 Australian Federal Election the Greens won an unprecedented number of seats in Queensland - producing what came to be known as the “Green Wave.” Max Chandler-Mather
 was at the centre of that movement - and is now the current Member for Griffith. In this conversation he shares how the Queensland Greens translated community organising techniques into an electoral force.

He shares his unusal story into the Greens, as someone who was frustrated and disenchanted by traditional electoral politics. But gentrification and the Brisbane floods
 changed his perspective, and he was encouraged to try and use lessons from political parties like Podemos and social movements around the world in the electoral arena.

Max goes into detail about how the Greens successfully organised, using door knocking, training programs and issue education sessions to create a space for political education
 and movement building. He talks openly about the challenges of electoral politics, and how important it is for candidates and parties to be held accountable to the people that elected them.

Community Care w/ Cleo Savva - 26.08.23 - Voices Radio

The 2010s were a time of mass protest, from the Arab Spring uprisings to Occupy Wall Street, Euromaidan and Hong Kong’s Umbrella Movement. Many of these movements shared a 'horizontalist' or leaderless approach, and most of them ended in failure. Why?

American journalist Vincent Bevins talks to Ash about the pitfalls of protest and what lessons we can learn from these movements, several of which he experienced up close while working as a correspondent for the Los Angeles Times and the Financial Times. Vincent's new book If We Burn is the follow-up to The Jakarta Method, a political history of America's role in Indonesia's mass killings.

He talks to NM's head of audio Chal Ravens about the strange forms of resistance that emerge when even your boss has no idea how the system actually works.
