Socialist Alternative is a Trotskyist group in the United Kingdom, part of International Socialist Alternative.
Socialist Alternative was founded in 2019.[1]
The group attended a "People's Assembly" protest in Salford in 2020, demanding the government continue to support working people as the furlough scheme was being wound down.[2]
Socialist Alternative, along with other left groups, took part in a KazakhSolidarity protest in London supporting protests in Kazakhstan at the beginning of 2022.[3]
The Salford branch of Socialist Alternative supported the strike of workers at the CHEP factory in Trafford Park. They argued that these striking workers needed to work together with Kill the Bill protesters against the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill and fellow strikers in the University and College Union.
