Book Launch: PINK-PILLED: Women and The Far Right
London
N1 9DY
As the far right has gained popularity and acceptance around the world, its ranks have swelled with an unlikely category of members: women.
Women play significant roles in far-right movements, acting as propagandists, prizes to be won and mother-warriors of the nation. But up to now their activities have been largely overlooked. In Pink-pilled, journalist Lois Shearing interviews leading experts and infiltrates communities of tradwives and femtrolls to provide a cutting-edge account of how the far right uses the internet to recruit women. Shining a light on women’s experiences within these movements, Shearing reveals horrifying examples of misogyny and violence.

Protest: No to Leonardo, No to BAE Systems Ad on the tube
London
Join London CAAT as we visit Leonardo, one of the companies complicit in Israel’s brutal assault on Gaza. Leonardo make the laser targeting system for the F35. We will also visit Westminster tube station to highlight the long running advert for BAE Systems. BAE are the main UK company involved in the F-35 fighter jet that Israel has used to wreak devastation and death across Gaza and having an advert so close to the corridor of power is immoral.
We cannot stand by and let these companies profit from the murder and maiming of Palestinians. Join us to protest against these heinous companies.
