The United June Movement (Turkish: Birleşik Haziran Hareketi, BHH) is a political coalition bringing together left-wing, communist and socialist parties, Marxist–Leninist political organizations, independent individuals and various left-wing non-governmental organizations in Turkey. The movement has aimed to form a broad alliance of left-wing parties for the general election due to be held on June 7, 2015.

BHH is defined as anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, anti-fascist and anti-reactionary political alliance by the founders of the movement. The June Movement comprised a broad array of groups and political parties including the Freedom and Solidarity Party, the Communist Party, the People's Communist Party of Turkey, the Labourer Movement Party, the Communist Party of Turkey 1920 and the Revolutionary Movement.

In February, HDP honorary president and HDK co-spokesperson Ertuğrul Kürkçü approached the United June Movement with a proposal to contest the June 2015 general election as a joint list.[1]
