#WorkingClassHistory:
On this day, 20 March 1946, a group of up to 10 homeless people, some of them World War Il veterans, squatted the 20-room Maramanah mansion in #KingsCross, Sydney.
The building was owned by the local council and scheduled for demolition.

Just spent a wonderful couple of hours with one of my participants, hearing about her life in West Brom in the 1960s. I am still recruiting, so if you or anyone you know fits the bill and is interested, please get in touch #1960s #womenshistory #workingclasshistory #twentiethcenturyhistory
Q: Who is your leader?
A: We are all leaders, here.
Working class history has been erased from the collective memory.
Many have forgotten that we had to fight for every right we have.
Nothing was given

The PNW has a LONG history of socialist organizing. They want you to forget that history. They want you to let the capitalist take over. #workingclasshistory #pnw #oregon #washingtonstate #cascadia

A screenshot of a Facebook post by Working Class History. White text on a black background reads "On this day, 24 October 1975, 90% of women in Iceland went on general strike for equality with men. At the time, women in the country earned over 40% less than men on average. A radical feminist group called the Red Stockings initially proposed the idea of a strike against low pay and to show the centrality of women's paid and unpaid labour to the capitalist economy. A committee of feminist organisations then decided to call for a "day off" for women, which was then supported by key trade unions. One woman, Annadis Rudolfsdottir later recalled to the Guardian: "In the days preceding the 24th it seemed that women everywhere were grouping together, drinking coffee, smoking incessantly but doing a lot of agitated talking. My granny, who was working incredibly hard in a fish factory, was not going to take the day off. But the questions raised by the women's movements whirred around her mind. Why were young men taking home higher wages than her when her job was no less physically strenuous?" The "day off" was hugely successful: the vast majority of Iceland's wage-earning women stayed home, and house workers refused to cook, clean and look after children. Newspapers were not printed, telephone calls weren't connected, and many schools were closed. Flights were cancelled, fish factories closed, and many other businesses disrupted. 25,000 women then rallied in the capitol, Reykjavík, bringing traffic to a standstill. The year after the strike, the Icelandic government passed the Gender Equality Act outlawing sex discrimination and formed a Gender Equality Council. Today Iceland has the lowest gender inequality in the world, although women still earn only 80% of men’s wages, so discrimination and the struggle against it continue."

Daily reminder, GENERAL STRIKE!
Furthermore, ICE must be abolished.

Ben Fletcher was WAY ahead of his time, a real working class hero.
Much like the annual #BannersHeldHigh festival here in Wakefield. Also remembering the talk we had from the lovely people at @ncmme.bsky.social who hold a collection of banners #Wakefield #WorkingClassHistory
