Ukraine Solidarity Campaign

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

No secondary sources, besides sparse one liners in Morning Star which is already not very reliable ~ 🦝 Shushugah (he/him • talk) 21:28, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I've expanded the page to include more information and draw on more secondary sources, including from the mainstream press. This organisation is clearly notable given its significant support from trade unions representing tens of thousands of workers, as well as elected politicians. It also provides crucial information about how different political tendencies have responded to the war in Ukraine. For these reasons, I say we keep the page. — Zcbeaton (talk) 13:48, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
