Why the Labour Party Needs Socialist Women
Labour Women Leading
From protecting public services to fighting for affordable housing, from Corbynomics to defending our communities, Labour left women across the country are shaping and implementing a socialist agenda that works for the many and not the few. But how can we ensure the voices of socialist women are centred within the work of the Labour Party? And why does this matter? Join a panel organised by Labour Women Leading to discuss.
