8 July 2006

On  behalf of the Just Books Collective I would like to invite you to the  launch of our new website on 19th July at 7.30 pm in the Belfast  Unemployed Resource Centre, Lower Donegall Street, Belfast.
 
On 19th of July 2006, the 70th anniversary of the 1936 workers'  revolution that initially defeated the fascist rising across much of  Spain, the Just Books collective will be launching its new website. Just  Books has a history in Belfast that stretches back to the opening of  the original Smithfield shop in June 1978 by the Belfast Anarchist  Collective. While the shop closed its doors in June 1994 the Just Books  Collective has continued to provide stalls at events such as grassroots  gatherings and at Belfast’s annual St. Georges market May Day  celebrations.
 
The new online Just Books will carry titles on  a wide range of topics such as: Irish labour history and politics,  international labour history, anarchism, anti-capitalism, feminism,  communism, socialism, syndicalism, sex and sexuality, current affairs,  racism/anti-racism, globalisation, the environment, labour legislation  and more.
 
In the longer term we see the setting up of this  website as part of a project to create a labour resource and solidarity  centre in Belfast that will incorporate accessible resources and  information for workers in struggle - in a premises providing a  multi-lingual resource library, a bookshop, meeting space, internet  access and a coffee shop. We would also like to include a projector for  showing films. This will provide much needed resources and solidarity  for workers in struggle. We hope to open the centre as a practical  commemoration of the Spanish Revolution.
 
In solidarity;

Jason Brannigan
