Red Pepper

Radical? Socialist? Green? Feminist? Red Pepper has been the voice of dissent spicing up politics for 20 years!

Defiant in its search for the truth, Red Pepper is a leading dissenting voice in British politics, independent of all political parties, debunking the myths that exist to protect powerful interests.

It seeks to be a space for debate, a resource for all movements for social justice, consistently internationalist and a home for anyone who wants a world based on equality, meaningful democracy and freedom.

Red Pepper is a non-profit magazine and exists because all those involved believe the left needs publications which are non-sectarian yet unafraid to take a stand, radical yet undogmatic, and thoughtful yet orientated on real-world activism.

With over 50 countries going to the polls in 2024, Time calls it 'the election year'. As candidates, polls and results dominate news cycles, Red Pepper looks beyond the headlines to assess the actors and movements agitating for change – for better and worse. Featuring Zoya Hasan on poly-vocal resistance in India, Yasser Louati on French racism, left and right, and a profile of the tech bro president rewriting El Salvador's laws. 

Elsewhere, a special section supported by Another Europe is Possible surveys Imperialism today, with voices from Ukraine, Sudan and Gaza – and a forceful warning against 'campism' by Elia J Ayoub. We hear from grassroots organisers building alternative economies in the USA and UK. In time for the new academic year, Katy Hayward charts AI interplays with the neoliberalisation in Higher Education. Plus Danielle Child and the Museum of Homelessness assess the state of the arts, with books, previews, regulars and more.
