On Saturday 6th June, Connections will be hosting a one day convention at Sheffield SADACCA. The event is open to people of any political affiliation who want to be part of the conversation on ‘Where next for the Left’. Please see the Eventbrite page for more information and tickets.
There will be guest speakers who we’ll be announcing, but what the convention is all about is us: connecting activists, building networks, holding workshop discussions on issues of practical importance.
Anwarul Khan: “The left is in disarray. Some of us are happy with the outcome in YP and want to carry on, some wish to stay and fight, some want to leave and set up a new party, others feel they can’t stay but don’t think that rushing to form a new party is the way forward. Many of the proto branches are turning into independent groups, and others are joining the Greens or loose coalitions with them. The Sheffield convention organised by Connections on the 6th of June will provide a space for comrades to rub shoulders and discuss a way forward together. Our goal is not to impose a direction, but to promote maximum discussion across our movement. Watch this space for more ways to get involved and connect with the thousands of other comrades pushing for democracy and socialism.”
