Feminist to contest Wollongong seat

WOLLONGONG — Angela Luvera will be standing in Wollongong for the Democratic Socialists in the March 27 state election. Luvera, a student member of Resistance, helped organise the high school walkouts against racism earlier this year. She is an abortion rights activist and a member of the Reclaim the Night and International Women's Day organising collectives. Luvera will campaign against cuts to government services in the Illawarra and promote real solutions to unemployment, such as the nationalisation of BHP and a shorter work week with no loss in pay.

about GLW - the need for alternative media

In these days of growing media concentration, Green Left Weekly is a proudly independent voice committed to human and civil rights, global peace and environmental sustainability, democracy and equality. By printing the news and ideas the mainstream media won't, Green Left Weekly exposes the lies and distortions of the power brokers and helps us to better understand the world around us.

Green Left Weekly, launched in 1990 by progressive activists to present the views excluded by the big business media, is now Australia's leading source of local, national and international news, analysis, and discussion and debate to strengthen the anti-capitalist movements.
