For the second time we had a stand in the exhibition at the Fabian Society’s New Year’s conference in January in London. Our treasurer and a volunteer spoke to many Labour activists throughout the day and signed up lots of people who were interested in finding out more about our work and membership. We were delighted that Mary Honeyball MEP came to our stand for a catch up. Mary is a supporter of Labour Humanists and a Vice President of the British Humanist Association (BHA) who speaks with a strong voice for Humanism and feminism in the European Parliament and beyond.
Attending Labour-focused conferences and events gives us the opportunity to meet and reach many hundreds of activists from across the Party and to promote our values and campaigns and to sign up new members. If we want to be successful in working for a more equal, ethical and secular Labour and to become an affiliated society to the party, we need to keep growing our support through 2014 and beyond.
