Alliance for Workers' Liberty
The Alliance for Workers' Liberty (AWL), also known as Workers' Liberty, is a Marxist group based in the United Kingdom. The group has had a complex history, but has always been strongly identified with the theorist Sean Matgamna. The AWL publish the newspaper Solidarity.
Members of the group elect a national committee, which in turn elects an executive committee able to take urgent decisions on behalf of the organisation. The AWL is registered with the Electoral Commission as a political party, for which purpose it has listed various executive committee members as officers: its leader as Cathy Nugent, its nominating officer as Mark Osborn and its treasurer as Martin Thomas.
