Céleste M.E. Hogan’s Post

We need a working-class party with a socialist and anti-imperialist perspective that is completely independent of the Democrats and the bosses. Toward that goal, we are putting forward for discussion and debate with the whole vanguard and the Left, a platform for a working-class party that fights for socialism and the rights of all of the exploited and oppressed.

While governments across the world should be doing what they can to defend democracy, Communities Secretary Michael Gove’s move in the UK to redefine ‘extremism’ is a clear step in the wrong direction. Certain groups will be blocked from government funding and meeting officials under the new definition, which risks reducing the space for dissenting views and the right to protest, and only government approved voices influencing decision-making. At a time when the world is already facing a backlash to rights and shrinking civic space, our experts Sam Sharp, Ján Michalko, PhD and Emilie Tant give their take on the dangerous precedent this new definition sets for democracy today, and how it will impact women and minority groups the hardest. #UKPolitics #Democracy #FreeSpeech

We must protect #OpenSociety in which all individuals are respected. #IdentityPolitics further increases already existing divisions within our society by emphasizing group interests over individual rights. This fundamentally undermines our liberal, democratic, and open society that strives for social justice, equality, and opportunities for all. 📑 Read ELF's new paper on the future of European liberalism here: https://bit.ly/3TRnQz5

In this article on Medium, I reflect on how we need to combat extreme views to retain our Democracy. #democracy #extremism #manipulation https://lnkd.in/es4uNbqx

Politics by the people. Politics for the people. 🌍✨ "Politics for the people focuses on creating a government that truly represents and serves its citizens. It emphasizes transparency, accountability, and inclusivity, ensuring that every voice is heard and valued." Let's work together to build a government that reflects and serves the needs of all its people! #PoliticsForThePeople #CitizenRepresentation #Transparency #Accountability #Inclusivity #EveryVoiceMatters #GovernmentByThePeople #DemocraticGovernance #PublicService #CivicEngagement #EmpoweredCitizens #FairGovernance #InclusivePolitics #CommunityVoice #ResponsiveGovernment

In the face of global #DemocraticBacksliding and rising #Authoritarianism, #HumanRightsDefenders (HRDs) and civil society organisations (CSOs) continue to play critical roles in safeguarding #democracy and #accountability. The Carter Center Human Rights Defenders 2024 Forum highlighted the severe human costs of the erosion of #CivicSpace, emphasising the importance of #Solidarity and collective action. With 85% of the world's population living in countries with closing civic spaces, cross-border collaboration is very critical. Let us join forces to safeguard fundamental freedoms and support HRDs working for #justice and #equality around the world. Moussa Colette Susan Mohammed Befekadu Vince Laura
