About Me

libcom.org is a constantly growing resource for all people who wish to fight to improve their lives, their communities and their working conditions. We want to discuss with one another, learn from successes and failures of the past and develop strategies to increase the power we, as ordinary people, have over our own lives.

The site contains clear information about basic ideas and history, as well as comprehensive listings of groups in Britain, news with both up-to-the-minute syndicated news and more detailed analysis, organising tips about how to start a local group, produce a newsletter or resist in the workplace, lively discussion forums to link up with people in your area, help plan events, and chat about anything from politics to music to monkeys, and much more besides.

So feel free to check out the site at www.libcom.org , or have a chat on our libcom.org forums
