<P><FONT size=2>Dear friend,</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>I thought you might appreciate a short update about two initiatives from <EM>Socialist Resistance</EM>.</FONT></P>
<UL>
<LI><FONT size=2>On Saturday 24 June, our <STRONG>dayschool on Latin America</STRONG> will be addressed by Michael Löwy, Celia Hart and Zbigniew Kowalewski. Löwy is one of the pre-eminent marxists from Latin America. Celia Hart is a member of the Cuban Communist Party. Zbigniew Kowalewski is a Polish marxist who has lived in Cuban and has written extensively on Latin America. The dayschool will run from 10.30 until 6 at the University of London Union. Tickets bought in advance are discounted to just £4 for waged people and £2 for others. Email us, at </FONT><A href="mailto:contact@socialistresistance.net"></FONT><FONT size=2>contact@socialistresistance.net</A><FONT size=2> to book your place.</FONT>
<LI><FONT size=2>We now have a <STRONG>free monthly email newsletter</STRONG>. Each month we will send subscribers an update on the best articles in the new issue of <EM>Socialist Resistance</EM>, including links to the full articles. I've put a copy of the newsletter below. As you will see, it includes links to events, podcasts and other resources. To subscribe to this newsletter, visit this website: </FONT><A href="http://www.graphicmail.co.uk/sendlink.asp?HitID=1146684875000&SiteID=4432&SID=6&EmailID=2736539&Link=http://tinyurl.com/mn79d"></FONT><font color="red"><b>MailScanner has detected a possible fraud attempt from "www.graphicmail.co.uk" claiming to be</b></font> <FONT size=2>http://tinyurl.com/mn79d</A><FONT size=2>. You are NOT on the list for the newsletter. The only way to get future issues is if you subscribe.</FONT></LI></UL>
<P><FONT color=#333333 size=2>I hope these are useful updates for you, and I hope you'll forgive the rather impersonal nature of this email. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT color=#333333 size=2>This is a one-off mass mailing which will not be repeated this year, if ever. It's our first such mailing, and perhaps our last. We would welcome your comments about it, and our work. If you prefer not to hear from us again, just press the unsubscribe button at the bottom of this email - and accept our apologies.</FONT></P>

<H1>Chirac and the government eat their words!</H1>
<DIV class=listEntry>
<H2>Communiqué from the LCR (Ligue communiste révolutionnaire, French section of the Fourth International)</H2>
<H2>April 10</H2>
<P class=topText>The First Employment Contract (CPE) will be replaced by yet another measure for youth, but it is disappearing. It is an initial retreat for the government. It must be followed up by others. This is the first time since Chirac's election in 2002 that those in power have given in under the pressure of mobilisation of youth and workers. Struggle pays off. All the demands made by this movement must now be met: withdrawal of the CNE and abrogation of the law on equality of opportunity. The repression affecting hundreds of young people must be halted immediately. This struggle once again confirms the rejection of neoliberal policies making precarious work the norm for youth and the world of work. After two months of gesticulations and provocations, Chirac, de Villepin and Sarkozy have disavowed their own stance after discrediting themselves. Their power represents a minority in the country. They must no longer continue to take action against the majority of the population. They must go! <A href="http://www.graphicmail.co.uk/sendlink.asp?HitID=1146684875000&SiteID=4432&SID=6&EmailID=2736539&Link=http://socialistresistance.net/anticpedemos.htm">more from the latest SR on the anti-CPE demos…</A></P></DIV>

<H2>April 10</H2>
<P class=topText>Slobodan Milosevic died during his trial at the UN's International War Crimes Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia in The Hague. He was 64. He stood accused of war crimes in Bosnia- Herzegovina, Croatia and Kosovo. Whatever the legitimacy of the victors justice represented by the Tribunal, a poor substitute for a true international court, there is no doubt of his guilt. The evidence is overwhelming. He was the butcher of the Balkans. <A href="http://www.graphicmail.co.uk/sendlink.asp?HitID=1146684875000&SiteID=4432&SID=6&EmailID=2736539&Link=http://socialistresistance.net/milosevicobit.htm">more…</A></P></DIV>
