“For a local democracy that benefits communities, not elites. There must be an end to the monopoly exercised over our political, economic and social system that is exercised by a minority elite. Together we can change this by organising ourselves and building mass campaigns around the issues which affect our lives. Our own decisive mass action can only result in the establishment of democracy. The people should be free to govern themselves and to determine their destiny”
