Cymru'n Codi @rising.cymru · 14/06/2025

A socialist alliance for people, planet and peace! Cymru'n Codi is a new organisation committed to constructing a socialist Cymru rooted in class struggle, ecological survival, internationalist solidarity & national independence Visit our website (link in bio) to see what we're about & join today!

Who are we?

Cymru’n Codi has come from the Cymru Radical Left Dialogue project - which has held 2 conferences, and 7 policy workshops, to develop a programme for us to unite around as socialists in Wales. We are committed to constructing a socialist Cymru rooted in class struggle, ecological survival, internationalist solidarity, and national independence. We reject capitalism’s drive for profit, war, and environmental destruction, and aim to replace it with democratic control over production, resources, and decision-making. Now, more than ever, a radical programme of transformation is needed to combat the far right, to combat the neoliberalism which has robbed us, and to fight for ecological socialism - ecosocialism.
