Formation[]
The GPR emerged from a group of workers building an organisation called Anti-Capitalist Offensive (OA), after discussing with several international Trotskyist tendencies, they began discussions with the Committee for a Workers International at the OA Summer Camp in 2002 and became a sympathising section of the CWI in February 2004.[1]
Campaigning[]
