Text reads: INTERNATIONAL WOMENS DAY
妇女能顶半边天 / WOMEN HOLD UP HALF THE SKY!
Text reads: IWD: A HISTORY
Today is International Womens Day (IWD), but not enough people know why the 8th of March was selected to commemorate it. On the 8th of March, 1917, over 20,000 textile workers, mostly women, filled the streets of Petrograd, Russia, and demanded 'Peace, Land & Bread!'
They wanted an end to the imperialist war, an end to the needless slaughter of the global working class, they wanted economic control over their own lives, land for the peasants and food for the people.
These 20,000 workers lit the spark which eventually set off the greatest revolution the world had seen - the Russian Revolution. The Russian Revolution of 1917 overthrew the hated Tsar, and instituted working class democracy, rather than bourgeois capitalist democracy.
Text reads: WELSH WOMEN'S PEACE MOVEMENT
Welsh women have always been at the forefront of the fight for peace, in the wake of the catastrophic World War One, 400,000 Welsh women signed a petition calling for global peace.
We would like to pay homage to the women who fought for peace for all over the last 100 years. In 1981, women marched from Cardiff to Berkshire in England, to the Greenham Common RAF Base - demanding to do an inspection of the site to see if nuclear missiles were there. By 1982, 30,000 women were at the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp, and formed a human wall around the base. The camp lasted from 1981-2000.
In 1989, the police attacked and killed Helen Wyn
Thomas - one of the protesters.
Text reads: WOMEN AGAINST PIT
CLOSURES
In 1984-85, a network called 'Women Against Pit Closures' formed, in protest of the Thatcherite plans to destroy the mining industries in Britain. Often mischaracterised as the 'first time' women got involved in political agitation, Welsh women have been at the forefront of the workers movement since the beginning.
Like Annie Powell, who joined the Communist Party of Great Britain in the 1930s, elected as a Communist Councillor in the 50s, and a Mayor in the Rhondda in the 60s, Welsh working class women have always fought for their rights.
Saliwt goch to the women across Wales and the world who fought for their class.
COFIWCH HELEN WYN THOMAS
On the 6th of August, 1989, British state police killed Helen Wyn Thomas as she protested nuclear weapons in a British RAF base.

REFORM POLITICIANS
THREATEN BANGOR UNI!
When Reform UK asked to visit
Bangor Uni Debating Society, the society refused. In response, Reform politicians are threatening to cut 100% of the University's funding.
Reform UK'S TANTRUM
This is the entitled politics of Reform
UK: if you don't invite us to your events, we'll shut down your whole university in the name of "free speech"
"WE'RE COMING FOR YOU°
Reform are threatening an act of massive cultural and economic vandalism: hundreds would lose their jobs and thousands would lose their education.
Make no mistake, Reform UK are threatening not just Bangor but all of Wales. Reform are coming to take away our universities, our jobs and our country; they want to turn Wales into their personal playground.
Reform UK threaten Welsh jobs and Welsh education! 🏴📚

Picture of Welsh Underground Network members gathered in front of a stage in the stute's main hall. They are holding two flags - a green one with the initials CFWI (Cefn Fforest Workers Institute) and a red one with the date 1831 (for the Merthyr Rising). Below is an image of WUN members in hard hats fixing a beam in the stute's ceiling.
There is bold red text on this image, reading "Cefn Fforest Stute Report, February 2026"
ALT Picture 2:
"The Cefn Fforest Miners Institute is open
Our years at the stute have been spent smashing, building, fetching, carrying, painting, plastering, fixing and weeding. We've removed rubble and installed solar panels.
Now, thanks to the hard-working stute volunteers, this formerly abandoned building is once again ready to serve the local community. It has already been host to a pantomime, a lecture and a wrestling match!
But we're nowhere near finished: this year we'll be repairing the stute's atrium, growing a new community garden and holding some exciting events in its main hall..."
ALT Picture 3:
"WUN members get the job done
The Welsh Underground Network's founding mission is to restore and empower working class communities like the one in Cefn Fforest. We believe that with enough hard graft and the right plan, the Welsh working class can achieve anything we set our minds to.
What we've done at the stute is remarkable, but this is only the first step on the journey. We won't put down our tools until every town in Wales has a stute like this one.
Get in touch if you want to come visit the stute with us, if you know of another stute that needs our help, or if you want to join our movement."
Stute Report: the Stute has now opened!
The Welsh Underground Network's founding mission is to restore and empower working class communities like the one in Cefn Forest.
We won't put down our tools till every town in Wales has a worker-owned community centre like the Cefn Forest Miners Institute.

Image description: a green image with white text. At the bottom is a drawing of a saint, she’s in a green cloak with a golden circle around her name. Next to her is a heart with a hammer and sickle.
Text reads: Dydd Gwyl Dwynwen Hapus
Like much of Welsh history from this period, the story of St Dwynwen has become influenced by folklore and local legends, meaning that there are a great many variations in the story of her life from teller to teller.
Dwynwen was a fifth century Welsh noblewoman who lived in Ynys Môn. She was the daughter of King Brychan Brycheiniog, who by one telling of the story forbade her marriage to Maelon Dafodrill. In response, Dwynwen prayed she would fall out of love with Maelon. In reply to her prayers, an angel provided Dwynwen with a potion to turn Maelon into ice.
God then offered Dwynwen three requests. Dwynwen asked that Maelon be released
I, the God look after all true lovers, and that
she may remain unmarried. Upon having these wishes granted, Dwynwen travelled to the remote Ynys Landdwyn where she acted as a healer for pilgrims that sought her out until her death in 460 A.D.

Text reads: Embracing Our National Folk Culture We live in an age of imperialism. Local folk traditions and stories around the world are being eroded in favour of hegemonic Anglo-American media. Even in cases where local folklore is embraced by capitalist media, it is sanitised and sold back to people in its culture of origin to enrich the owners of media conglomerates.
The revolutionary response to this erosion and commodification is to study and embrace the traditions and culture that capitalism cannot co-opt. Our national folklore has survived this long by being passed down in oral and written form from generation to generation. By embracing this, we oppose the capitalist homogenisation of language and culture.
In an age of monopoly capitalism, embracing our culture and history is a revolutionary act.
Why do we, communists, honour a Welsh holiday celebrating a Christian saint?
Simple - capitalism seeks to homogenise Wales into being England. To resist capitalism is to protect Welsh history and culture.

We greatly mourn the loss of Michael Parenti, a Marxist who greatly influenced our membership. As a movement largely made up of people born after the fall of the Soviet Union, he helped wipe away the piles of rubbish heaped on its grave.
Cofiwch Parenti.

Image: A social media graphic with a photo on the top and text in the bottom. The photo is of people in a hall with missing floorboards, they’re holding a flag with the WUNs logo - a crossed over hammer and pickaxe.
Text: 4 years ago, members of Valleys Underground went to the Cefn Forest Miners Institute to help the locals rebuild it. It was derelict and out of use, left to rot, a physical manifestation of what neoliberalism has done to Wales.
It was missing floorboards, windows were bricked over, holes in the roof had flooded rooms. Wales once had over 200 halls like this once, all went the same way Cefn forest was going.
Image: a collage of images, 3 by 3, each row has a year at the top. The first row is 2022-2023, the second is 2024, the third is 2025. The images depict the slow rebuilding of the institute. The very central image has text on it saying “evil communists doing evil things”.
Image: This is the same layout of the first post. This time, the image is of the same hall but completely fixed, and full of chairs ready to be used.
Text: 4 years on, 'The Stute' has been transformed through the hard work of the local community.
For 4 years, we've been turning up weekly to do the dirty work, replacing floorboards, gutting bathrooms, breaking up concrete slabs. We work alongside the community, to show that we don't need to accept the rot. To show that the working class can fight back and save our communities.
Image: this image is just text, which is all black aside from a large slogan at the bottom.
Text: "The Stute' is at the core of what we are as a movement - the idea that political change comes from the ground up.
Since 2019 and the founding of Valleys Underground, we have been at the service of our communities. We may have been left to rot by the neoliberal British state, from Westminster to the Senedd, but we don't have to accept it.
We're not 'do-gooders', we do it because the corrupt and lazy politicians won't fix Wales for us.
We do it because we are working class socialists, who already know the truth...
WALES WOULD BE BETTER RUN BY THE WORKERS
⚒️ 4 years of hard graft, working alongside the community, to put this hall back into their hands. The trade union halls in Wales were built by the workers, they’ll be rebuilt by the workers 💪🚩
