Notes from Below is a UK-based digital and print magazine, founded in 2018,[1] that publishes "workers' inquiries" and contemporary class analyses that uses class composition theory.[2] The editors, including Jamie Woodcock and Callum Cant,[3] have modeled their work after the Italian journal Quaderni Rossi and early surveys about working conditions conducted by Karl Marx. Through the inquiries it publishes, the magazine promotes class composition and workerism.[4] The inquiries featured in the magazine have included workers at call centers, Amazon delivery centers, universities, tech companies,[5] and pubs and its coverage has focused on small, militant unions like the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain.

In 2020, Notes from Below was awarded a grant from the Barry Amiel & Norman Melburn Trust to produce a special issue.[6] From April 2023, they began to publish their magazine in print, with three issues being released a year.[7]

Notes from Below had contributed to a 2018 University and College Union (UCU) pension strike by publishing bulletins and circulating an open letter in support of the strike.
