Film discussions are a great way to talk about democratic socialism and make organizing connections in your community. You can do this with a group of friends, or host a larger event. And the British film Pride (2014) is a good choice to talk about queer organizing, workers’ rights, and solidarity in action. Check out some film discussion tips here.

The film is based on the true story of Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners. It’s 1984, British coal miners are on strike, and a group of gays and lesbians in London bring the queer community together to support the miners in their fight.

As socialists, we are committed to democracy, justice, and liberation for all. And we understand how patriarchy, sexism, and homophobia are abetted by capitalism. Want to learn more?
