For this episode of 12 Rules for WHAT Alex headed to Reading to interview Reading Red Corner, a red gym, martial arts club and solidarity project.

The right wing government of Boris Johnson gives space to new far right and fascist movements. To meet this potential threat the left needs to build a base that encompasses community self defence and solidarity. Notable about Reading Red Corner is their commitment to food solidarity and engagement with community projects across Reading.

Listen to find out more about their project! If there is a red gym in your area consider supporting/ getting involved. If there isn't anything happening we've also got some tips for getting something started.

Reading Red Corner organises WEEKLY sessions and is open to people of all experiences and non. Get in touch via their facebook page if you want to find out more.
