Our Common Cause

Socialist Alliance is a proud supporter of Green Left. Socialist Alliance is an anti-capitalist activist party dedicated to bringing together all those who want to resist the capitalist assault on our planet and people to fight for an ecosocialist future.

Our Common Cause is the column of Socialist Alliance in Green Left which is widely recognised as one of the most authoritative left-wing English-language sources of news and political analysis in print and online. Green Left covers many of the issues and campaigns that Socialist Alliance members are involved in.

Members and supporters are encouraged to promote Green Left while campaigning in their communities and workplaces and to become financial supporters of Green Left to ensure its ongoing production and distribution.
