Labour HumanistsWe had a stand at the Labour Women’s Network conference, which brought together delegates including many elected representatives and prospective candidates. At the stand we signed up new supporters and spoke particularly on issues relating to faith schools and on the value of having a growing group for ethical, non-religious people within the Labour Party.
We were busy speaking to people and signing up new members at the British Humanist Association‘s annual conference, held in Leeds 7-9. The conference had an absolutely fantastic programme, with speakers moving from philosophy and chemistry, to astronomy, literature and media sexism. You can have a look at what happened on Twitter and searching for #BHALeeds.
Our leaflets were popular, and it was great to see so many people declaring their affiliation by wearing our new ‘Labour Humanist’ badges!
It’s important for us to attend events such as this so we can raise awareness of our group, and for us to sign up new members. Without people, our voice cannot be heard within the Labour Party.
