NOT DEAD YET - Is Woke (aka Cultural Marxism) still a Thing?

Since Donald Trump's election victory, many people have been predicting that Cultural Marxism -- sometimes referred to as "Woke," is dead. The resounding democratic rejection of it in the United States, as well as ever increasing anger with the Labour Party here in the UK, certainly shows a powerful political pushback against it.

For our August meetup, our guest speaker, Jenny Holland, will address the reasons why it is far from dead, as it has taken root in many institutions, and in the hearts and minds of some of our families, friends and neighbours, to where now, truth and common sense have gotten completely lost, and she will offer some solutions to our current situation.

Jenny Holland is an Irish-American writer based in Belfast. She spent several years working in mainstream media in the US, including three years at the New York Times. She now writes the very entertaining Substack, "Saving Culture (from itself)" https://jennyeholland.substack.com/, is a frequent contributor to Spiked, and has written for The Critic, Spectator US and Feminist Current. She has spoken at the Battle of Ideas Festival and at Free Speech Union events, and contributes to The Solid Ground weekly livestream on Youtube.
