for a broad left network
Socialists in the Labour Party have suffered recent defeats, but we are not defeated. This is the time to unify and build around our shared socialist principles, the policies in our 2017 & 2019 manifestos, full democracy, due process and natural justice in the party.
We urgently need a way of bringing together the wide range of new and existing organisations in our movement – groups organising in communities and workplaces, unions, constituency-based left groups, Covid-19 mutual aid networks. Not yet another organisation with leadership aspirations.
Instead we need something new and different – a grassroots umbrella network, run democratically by its supporting bodies, to coordinate our actions and our demands, to support and act in solidarity with each other.

Dan Carden shows how community spirit helped Liverpool Walton "resist the lurch to the right that has afflicted many areas like it across England and Wales. It isn’t just about culture, it’s about organising. Where successive governments have allowed our social fabric to be torn apart, or sacrificed the public good to private profit, ordinary people have stepped in and fought to maintain dignity for their neighbours, their workmates, and their class." #dontleaveorganise

As many of Labour's post-industrial heartlands drifted rightward, Liverpool remained solidly red. The reason is clear: working-class community organising.One of our founding organisations, the Labour Representation Committee - LRC is organising a series of meetings on 'Lessons Learned' over the last 5 years, both in terms of the Corbyn leadership and the wider movement. The first of these sessions, featuring Matt Wrack of the FBU and NEC representative Laura Pidcock (with Bisi Williams in the chair), takes place this Tuesday at 7pm, via Zoom.

“The only thing that can protect us from a government that doesn’t value the lives of ordinary people is organised trade unions in the workplace. And the NEU has shown the power of that this week.” We agree with Daniel Kebede – teacher and NEU vice president – and stand in solidarity with all unions currently taking action with and on behalf of workers.
