Socialist Historians demand the right to work. History must continue, climate change must be halted
The London Socialist Historians Group which organises the socialist history seminar at the Institute of Historical Research at the University of London, Senate House (currently suspended due to the IWGB boycott) is in fully support of the climate strike on September 20th. United action on the climate emergency between students and trade unionists with TUC backing is an important way of forcing climate change up the political agenda.
The historians say that the bottom line is that unless climate change is addressed the likelihood of human civilisation continuing in its present form is limited. Without that there is no guarantee of a future supply of history for historians to research.
On 20th September the socialist historians say they want history to be made in the present day by a huge worldwide protest about the climate emergency
LSHG Convenor Dr Keith Flett said, if we don’t take urgent action on climate change the future for the planet doesn’t look good. In that case future generations of historians will have no history to research and people have no guide to their past or a future to make their own. That’s why we are protesting on 20th September.
