The People’s Revolutionary Government (PRG) was proclaimed in Grenada #OTD in 1979, led by the Marxist-Leninist New Jewel Movement.

Under the PRG’s guidance, employment was greatly reduced, mothers were granted increased maternity leave, cooperatives were established, and many other measures were enacted.
