Eastern District Communist Party Building School 2014 1
Building School
Come to the Eastern District CP political day schoolGENERAL SECRETARY
ROBERT GRIFFITHS WRITES:
“This is the second Political School that the CP has held in the Eastern District. The need to further develop our communist cadres has become increasingly obvious as the Party has expanded its reach and activity, recruiting new members and establishing new centres of activity.
The Eastern District will play a key role in the party in 2014 in the No2EU campaign against austerity and to block UKIP and in building the People’s Assembly.
The School is an excellent opportunity for you to develop as a cadre and to bring with you, members of your branch and supporters, who want to become more active and develop politically.”
The Eastern District Communist Party Building School is a milestone event in 2014. We need cadres from every CP branch to attend. Active participation will help provide a springboard for Party activity across Britain at this critical time.
