Dear Comrade,
I am writing to you to inform about the Socialist Youth Network and its upcoming activities.
The Socialist Youth Network is the youth wing of the LRC and brings together young activists fighting for socialism in the Labour party and wider labour movement. It is open to all members of the Labour party or of no party at all who are aged 30 and under. We were at the very forefront of John McDonnell’s campaign for the Labour leadership.
Among our activities, we are launching a campaign for a real living wage without exemptions – COFUP! (Coalition Fighting Unfair Pay). We will be campaigning for Labour councils to include a Living Wage in their procurement terms and for the Labour party to adopt a Living Wage as its official policy. The launch of the campaign will take place on 24th July 7pm in Committee Room 9, House of Commons. John McDonnell will be among those speaking.
If you are a young lefty and interested in getting involved, please email Owen or Marsha-Jane at o.p.jones@gmail.com / marshajanethompson@yahoo.co.uk. You can also join online at www.socialistyouth.org.uk – it’s only £3 (unwaged) / £5 (waged). If you’re a member of Facebook, there’s also a SYN group you can join here: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2449986224
Please pass this on to anyone you think might be interested.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best wishes,
Owen and Marsha-Jane
