Each of the three talks below looks at a different aspect of the struggle to protect working-class livelihoods during the Covid-19 pandemic and the economic crash that it has brought with it.

In the first talk, workplace organiser Charlie Jackson draws lessons and conclusions from a recent struggle to save jobs at a large non-profit.

In the second talk, housing activist Kate B, a housing activist and member of rs21, speaks on how we can resist evictions, housing insecurity and spiralling personal debt as the Covid-19 crisis unfolds.

In the third talk, veteran trade union activist Willie Black comments on the histories and experiences we will need to learn from to effectively mount resistance to capital throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.
