█ Lockdown

ILRIG and COVID-19

During the COVID-19 pandemic and related government-imposed lockdown, the nature of our work has had to change substantially so that we can still provide solidarity and political education while prioritising the safety of our team and our comrades in community and worker organisations. This page contains our statement suspending public activities, our solidarity work through the COVID-19 Working Class Campaign, as well as a number of online educational events that we have held during this period.
