Based on award-winning research, Love and Revolution (Manchester University Press, Contemporary Anarchist Studies series, 2025) brings classical and contemporary anarchist thought into a mutually beneficial dialogue with a global cross-section of ecological, anti-capitalist, feminist and anti-racist activists – discussing real-life examples of the loving-caring relations that underpin many contemporary struggles.
Menwith Hill Base, regular demonstrations

Join CND for this national conference to discuss why we must campaign against the purchase of these fighter jets and urge the government to reverse its disastrous war drive, and instead focus on providing real, human security – funding health, education, and climate action.
