Solidarity Series - War on Want

About The Course

Solidarity is a key founding principle of the General Federation of Trade Unions and our Educational Trust. Through this series, we will explore domestic and international campaign groups, organisations and unions that help us think about and deliver solidarity that matters.

Join this series and help build a stronger union movement across our country and beyond.

War on Want will be delivered by Asad Rehman who is the Executive Director of War on Want, the radical anti-poverty and workers’ rights organisation. Asad is a leading climate justice activist whose work has helped to reframe the climate crisis as a crisis of neoliberal capitalism, inequality, and racism. Asad has led climate justice groups inside the UNFCCC process and was co-founder of the Global Campaign to Demand Climate Justice, is currently coordinator of the Global Green New Deal Project and was one of the founders of the COP26 Coalition connecting the labour movement and the climate movement. Over the last 35 years, he has worked with many social movements both globally and nationally including the labour movement, anti-racist movement, the alter-globalisation movement, and the anti-war movement. He has previously served on the Boards of Amnesty International UK, Global Justice Now, Friends of the Earth International and is currently on the Boards of a Thousand Currents and Rainforest Action Network.
