    Where is the driving force for change? Who envisions a better future, crafts the path to democracy, and strategizes the movement? Who fuels it with revolutionary zeal and the will to power? And where is the force that can fulfill the unfinished promise of Iran's Constitutional Revolution? In three words: The Iranian Citizenry. Thirty years before Iran's Constitutional Revolution, the treatise One Word (Yek Kalameh) ignited a movement—challenging absolute monarchy, advocating the rule of law, and empowering the people. Now, Two, Three Words (Do, Se Kalameh) draws inspiration from the courageous youth of Iran. It articulates their aspirations, forges a new discourse, and unites a narrative that could pave the way for democratic alternatives.

  • How to Defeat the Far Right: Lessons From Hope Not Hate - cover

    How to Defeat the Far Right:...

    ‘A brilliant and challenging book’ GORDON BROWN 
    From the founder of Britain’s leading antifascist organisation, HOPE not hate, this is an urgent call to resist the forces of extremism on the march in Western societies – and how to go about it. 
    If you’re shocked and disconcerted by the rise of intolerance and hate, you’re not alone. 
    Drawing from 35 years of campaigning and journalism, Nick Lowles shows how anti-immigration, antisemitic and Islamophobic attacks have proliferated in the modern world, and how Britain – with the likes of Tommy Robinson and the growth of Reform UK – has been far from immune from far-right politics. 
    From HOPE not hate’s pioneering campaigns against the BNP in east London to the impact of the ‘manosphere’ and the issues in Netflix's Adolescence; from explorations of the pernicious influence of ‘race science’ and conspiracy theory to the interplay of deprivation and intolerance in Britain’s deindustrialised towns, Lowles entwines his inspirational story with hard-won lessons from decades of activism. 
    His conclusions – which do not shy away from awkward truths for campaigners – suggest practical ways for the far right to be defeated. And he shares powerful examples – from a participant-led youth club in Hull to Syrian refugees connecting with local people over falafel in Bradford – of finding the joy in showing that, hard as it can seem, HOPE can triumph over hate. 
    In his latest non-fiction work, Lowles explores the social and political ideologies that underpin totalitarianism and organised terrorism. It's a true biography of activists fighting against ethnic intolerance and fascism, making it a must-read for those interested in these topics.

    Creating a Nation That Is Fair for Us All 
    Cindy Mathers has experienced firsthand the impact of our traumatised, fragmented and broken systems on First Nations people, and indeed us all. She has been mentored by and worked collaboratively with First Nations people for over two decades, learning through respect, deep listening, and truth telling. 
    After repeated experiences of burnout, she began searching for solutions outside of current systems. Through personal and ancestral healing, extensive research, and study, she learned that the disrespect and disregard of human rights of the First Nations people at the time of colonization created wounds that remain in our collective psyche and are passed down through generations. 
    In DELVE-ing into Cultural Humility, Mathers shares a learning pathway forward, based on respect and deep listening. She created the DELVE formula as a collaborative way to implement change in our nation: 
    ●       Deconstruct—how did we get here as a nation? 
    ●       Explore—the impact of abuse of Human Rights on us all 
    ●       Listen—and learn, with deep presence to the stories of First Nations people 
    ●       Viable—what First Nations-led / collaborative initiatives are working? 
    ●       Energise—what works and fund community-led, place-based initiatives 
    In these pages, you will see a snapshot of what is possible when we engage the DELVE formula. By applying this pathway to her real-life projects and experiences, Mathers has created a succinct and practical resource for those who wish to learn Cultural Humility and become part of creating a new nation that respects the Human Rights of all.
