An Eyewitness to popular struggle
Nepal’s poor majority are struggling for a “New Nepal” based on popular democracy and social justice.
Led by the Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoists (UCPN-M), the poor have brought down a king and are confronting the US and Indian-backed elite that removed the UCPN-M-led government last year.
Nepali solidarity activist, Ben Peterson, will speak on the Nepali people’s attempts to found a new society.
