A Commemoration to the International Brigade was held on Saturday 19th September at the Glasgow La Pasionaria, organised by anti-racism charity & campaigning body Hope not Hate. It was the first such broad-based memorial to be held since 2010, with the expressed will of the people gathered that this take place annually from now on, as a part of the labour & trade union movement's calendar.
The International Brigades (Spanish: Brigadas Internacionales) were military units, made up of volunteers who travelled to Spain, in order to fight against the Fascist forces of General Franco , in the Spanish Civil War between 1936 and 1939. Many volunteers were recruited from the ranks of the Communist Party and Young Communist League (YCL).
