Local communities are increasingly required to use campaigning tactics to defend services, resources and rights in the face of indifference from largely unaccountable local institutions. There is also an urgent need for local campaigns to support and learn from each other.
The People’s Republic of Newham is a network of local independent activists who want to try and help and support community campaigns by sharing the wealth of knowledge, skills and experience in the borough that can help campaigners have greater chances of success.
It is currently organising on Facebook but if there is enough interest, it could expand into an email group and meetings, depending on what members feel is most helpful.
