Sussex LRC

With Jeremy Corbyn re-elected as Labour Leader, Sussex LRC and friends want to encourage Labour members and supporters to get more involved in their Party. We’re holding participatory workshops designed for all socialists who want to learn more about Labour and how the Party works. Our aim is to demystify Labour’s structures from branches to the NEC, and help people feel confident joining-in or leading Labour activities, whether that’s speaking at a meeting, proposing a motion, leafleting, running a street stall, going canvassing, standing for election (perhaps as an officer, conference delegate, or councillor), or whatever you want to do. Light refreshments will be available from 1pm with this small second Learn About Labour workshop in Brighton &amp; Hove starting promptly at 1.30pm.  This session is aimed at people who were unable to come to our first workshop in December.  Only 20 places are available due to venue restrictions.  For this reason, we suggest that people outside Brighton &amp; Hove wait for the workshops being planned with local groups in their own areas, which are likely to be more convenient.

This workshop is aimed at new members and members returning after many years, but you're also welcome to contact us if you're thinking of joining Labour, or are a long-term member with questions about the Party.

Jeremy Corbyn’s re-election as Labour Leader is a victory for socialist politics. The LRC wants to see a Corbyn-led Labour government committed to transformative policies. To achieve this goal the LRC appeals to everyone who has been inspired by Jeremy to join (or return to) Labour, to now get active and involved in the Labour Party and their unions, in order to win the battle of ideas. In Corbyn and McDonnell, the Labour Party has leaders with the collective will to implement democratic socialist policies in government. Now Labour’s leaders need to be supported by members informed and empowered to run campaigns and meetings which will inspire voters to support Labour. If you want to change the Labour Party, you have to change its rules. Sussex LRC aims to help members learn about Labour’s rules and how they operate, so that together we can make Labour a truly democratic party, where policy is determined from members-up by a democratic conference. The workshop is free but donations to cover venue hire and other costs will be welcome.
