YCL National Foodbank Collection - 20 October 2018 The Young Communist League mobilised its branches and members to participate in the YCL’s first National Foodbank Collection on Saturday 20 October 2018. Food poverty in Britain in 2018 Statistics from the Trussell Trust, the nationwide charity coordinating foodbanks, show that since 2010 the number of emergency three day food supplies provided by foodbanks in Britain has increased from just over 40,898 to 1,332,952 in 2018 – an increase of 3,275%. Approximately 666,476 people have used foodbanks in the year 2017 -2018. The real figure could be far higher. The reality behind these statistics is sickening - working people in one of the richest countries on the planet are unable to feed themselves. It is a damning indictment of the inhumane capitalist system. This increase is the direct result of the austerity policies of successive Conservative Governments. Workers must fight to remove this anti-worker government. But we also need to come together to help the most vulnerable working people made to suffer in the interests of big business and finance capital. Our aim Communists don’t believe in charity. Working people deserve more than the crumbs off the table. This was a political act. It was intended to draw attention to the cruel impact of Tory austerity in the working class communities that we live in. It was a practical example of working class solidarity and a demonstration of unity in the face of this Government. Equally importantly, it will provide some small relief to those facing dire poverty as we approach winter. What we achieved Visible collections were held in many of Britain’s largest cities. In addition to this smaller collections organised by collectives and individual comrades took place in smaller towns and villages. We are under no illusion that our efforts today were modest and even more so when measured against the scale of food poverty in Britain. The generous contributions made today up and down the country are testament to the spirit of Britain’s working class. We completely reject the cynical conclusion that “human beings are fundamentally selfish”. Despite the efforts of the c
2018 has seen some of the most destructive and unpredictable weather and climate events in generations. Across the world new temperature records were set this summer. Capitalist industrialisation is warming the planet. This is beyond dispute. The events of this year herald the potential onset of an irrevocable change in the Earth’s climate which could spell the end of humanity. This crisis has been decades in the making and despite years of warnings and irrefutable evidence, capitalism and our ruling class have proven themselves unwilling and unable to solve it. While there is money to be made in burning fossil fuels and while the massive monopolies which profit from it control our political establishment this is unsurprising. While we are told that climate change is a problem equally attributable to everyone everywhere regardless of their class. Ignoring the fact that the world’s richest 10% account for 50% of fossil fuel emissions, while the poorest 50% produce just 10%. Just 100 companies have been responsible for more than 70% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions since 1988. Time is running out. In a few decades we may already be too late. The story of the human race might end, almost as soon as it started, here on a planet which we have made uninhabitable by greed. But it doesn’t have to end like this. The socialist countries have offered radical solutions to save our planet, the cradle of humanity. Cuba is ranked world number 1 for sustainable development by the World Wildlife Federation. China is reorientating itself as the world’s biggest economy towards renewable energy, building two new windfarms every hour along with the biggest solar farms in the world. This crisis was created by capitalist greed but it can be solved by human cooperation. The choice we have to make is socialism or extinction. Join the Communists and fight for an economic system based on human need and sustainability. Join the fight for socialism in our lifetime!

National Foodbank Collection - 20 October 2018 The Young Communist League is calling on all branches and members participate in the YCL’s first National Foodbank Collection on Saturday 20 October 2018. https://www.facebook.com/events/165581834368103/ Food poverty in Britain in 2018 Statistics from the Trussel Trust, the nationwide charity coordinating foodbanks, show that since 2010 the number of emergency three day food supplies provided by foodbanks in Britain has increased from just over 40,898 to 1,332,952 in 2018 – an increase of 3,275%.

But we also need to come together to help the most vulnerable working people made to suffer in the interests of big business and finance capital. What we need you to do Branches should identify the most effective foodbank in their area who their collections will be donated to. Branches should then formulate a plan for their collection. Use whatever approach will be most effective in your area. A stall outside a large supermarket with a bin for collections is generally the best method. However some branches might prefer to do door to door collections. The EC will provide posters and leaflets to highlight our work which explains what we’re doing and why we’re doing it. Branches should submit their plan for the National Collection no later than Friday 12 October 2018. Branches are asked to provide a full report of their activity as soon as possible afterwards for use in a national press statement. Why we’re doing it Communists don’t believe in charity.

The Young Communist League, as the youth wing of the Communist Party, are fighting to lead the struggle against austerity and for investment in jobs, housing and public services 🏡🏭 We know that real change won’t simply be won in the corridors of Parliament. It will require mass struggle through the institutions of the working class: our trade unions, student movements and tenants organisations ✊🚩 We know that the youth of the working class have always played a leading role in the fight for peace and socialism in our lifetime 🕊️🌍 If you’re serious about socialism, join Britain’s Communists today ➡️➡️➡️ www.ycl.org.uk/join-us/
