Press Release
A motion outlining the following was passed unanimously at Camden Momentum on 8 March, 2021:
"Camden Momentum stand in solidarity with Labour Black Socialists and support their call for a campaign strike.
We accept LBS assertion that the Labour Leadership has failed in their duty to tackle anti-Black racism and Islamophobia within the Party.
We also condemn the suspension of the whip to the anti-racist Jeremy Corbyn and the mass suspension of socialists within the Party.
Consequently, we will only campaign for candidates in the upcoming elections.
1.That have a proven commitment to tackle anti-black racism, Islamophobia and other discrimination routinely faced by Black, Asian and ethnic communities’ members.
2. That signal an opposition to the ongoing sectarian suspensions of socialists within the Party and support restoring the whip to Jeremy Corbyn".
