Vote for the grassroots candidates for the Women’s Conference Arrangements Committee

CLP delegates at Women’s Conference are encouraged to vote for:

• Zoe Allan
• Jean Crocker
• Rathi Guhadasan

Zoe, Jean and Rathi are committed to:

• Restoration of a standalone, two-day, policy-making annual Labour Women’s Conference separate to Annual Conference.
• A Women’s Conference that is inclusive of the full diversity of grassroots women members and trade unionists, including promoting accessibility for disabled women and carers.
• Supporting Women’s Officers and Women’s Branches to fully participate in Women’s Conference through encouragement, advice and guidance on submission of motions and election of delegates, making sure motion and rule change criteria are clear and well-communicated.
• Support for delegates to Women’s Conference including timely advice and information, and inclusive, accessible and empowering composite meetings.
• An agenda for Women’s Conference that includes as much input from grassroots women members and trade unionists as possible.
