Open Labour National Online Conference – ‘Politics of Hope’

With Covid, Brexit, climate change, and the global rise of the far-right, politics feels quite bleak.

So Open Labour wants to create a ‘Politics of Hope’: a new agenda within Labour taking on the immediate Covid challenge and the long term challenges around climate change, automation, a broken electoral system, global inequality and more.

We are holding an online conference on Sunday 21 March 2021 which will include workshops, discussions and debates with politicians, campaigners and minds from across the movement.

We are proud to say that our primary sponsor is the Electoral Reform Society.

Early confirmed speakers include:

Cllr Alice Perry – Vice-Chair of Labour’s NEC
James Meadway – Former advisor to the Shadow Chancellor
Nadia Whittome MP
Alex Sobel MP
Clive Lewis MP
Ann Black – Labour NEC member and chair of the party’s National Policy Forum
Paul Sweeney – Former MP for Glasgow North East
Laura Parker – Labour for a New Democracy
Jermain Jackman

With many many more to come, including keynote and international speakers…

AGM tickets need to be registered separately and this will be a members only event. The AGM will be for presentations of reports and constitutional amendments only.
