Left Alliance for National Democracy and Socialism - an emerging far-Left political movement in Jamaica.

[🇯🇲 Jamaica LANDS 🇯🇲 @LANDS_Ja]

You've probably seen us on your timeline discussing many local issues, promoting our Constitutional Reform proposal, or showing solidarity with the Palestinian people, but do you know who we really are?

Allow us to (re)introduce ourselves. 👇🏾

Its rather rich to hear the PNP talking about only 5 people getting all the big jobs in government.Who remember a man called Vin Lawrence? That man headed so many things under PJ he was more powerful than PJ himself. Man was like the PM of Jamaica at the time.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Today we encourage everyone to actively make the effort to volunteer and give back to their communities and environment in a positive way.

[🇯🇲 Jamaica LANDS 🇯🇲 @LANDS_Ja]

Yesterday some of our members got together to do some painting around our office and then relaxed with a movie.

Labour day in Jamaica is all about groups and individuals making a conscious effort to improve their environment through volunteer work.

[🇯🇲 Jamaica LANDS 🇯🇲 @LANDS_Ja]

There have been protests about both of these things. The fact that a killing occurred during a protest yesterday is even more unsettling.

At a time when there is a resurgence of interest in activism, such an incident will agitate people further.

[🇯🇲 Jamaica LANDS 🇯🇲 @LANDS_Ja]

The rise in police killings is one of the things that we have been watching with concern.

Here is an excerpt from something we released shortly before the last general elections: https://t.co/3OlJFUqGeY

[Jamaica Observer @JamaicaObserver]

A member of the Jamaica Constabulary Force has been interdicted after a woman was shot and killed in Granville, St James on Sunday.

Even outside of extrajudicial killings, we have been concerned that different curfew/lockdown measures impede law-abiding citizens from going about their business and making a living. https://t.co/omk7r0Lxpn

[Jamaica Observer @JamaicaObserver]

Residents and business operators in Burnt Savannah staged a protest on Friday, May 15, voicing frustration over a curfew they say has crippled their livelihoods and left the community feeling abandoned by their Prime Minister and harassed by the police.

@WelloJ397963 We did not claim that there are non-biased persons or that our suggest prevents allegations of bias.

This is one of the proposals we made in 2023.

An MP having to be the Speaker means they have to sit out of debates.

[Jamaica Observer @JamaicaObserver]

Jamaica’s Parliament is no stranger to accusations of bias from the Chair. The latest flashpoint surrounds Mrs Juliet Holness, the Member of Parliament (MP) for St Andrew East Rural who was elected Speaker of the House of Representatives in September 2023 and returned to the post in 2025.

@TruthLawOrder We know. That is what our position and our tweet are saying. The Speaker does not sit in debates. By having to be the Speaker, an MP has to sit out of debates. We don't want any MP to have to sit out of debates.

[Island City Lab @islandcitylab]

Public transportation in the Kingston Metro Region is in crisis. Decades of car-dependent investments and policies have sidelined the JUTC, and now getting around the city is any combination of miserable, time-consuming or dangerous - but it doesn't have to be.

[🇯🇲 Jamaica LANDS 🇯🇲 @LANDS_Ja]

Our experiences of a global pandemic and Hurricane Melissa have made the question of what it means to be an essential worker ever more important.

What work is vital to the functioning of our society?

Join us for the State of Labour Dialogue on Sat May 2 at 6:00pm.

Our movement stands in solidarity with the Cuban Revolution. All progressive forces in the region must oppose the regime change efforts, the general economic warfare, the oil siege, and any attempt of invasion.

[🇯🇲 Jamaica LANDS 🇯🇲 @LANDS_Ja]

Today marks 65 years since a group of over 1400 exiles, armed and funded by the CIA, attempted to overthrow and undo the Cuban Revolution by force.

The exiles disembarked near the Bay of Pigs, and aimed to take control of Cuba.

[🇯🇲 Jamaica LANDS 🇯🇲 @LANDS_Ja]

The military aggression cannot be disconnected from the economic warfare. The US openly admitted that it is trying to make life miserable for average Cubans, to weaken morale and destabilise the country.
