Your Party, launched by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana in July, holds its founding conference in Liverpool this weekend.

Four founding documents are being discussed. Your Party members have been suggesting amendments to those documents online. Supporters of this petition who have joined Your Party may already have made amendments on other organisational and constitutional aspects, but here are two I hope you could consider supporting as well.

Firstly, Allow supportive working class organisations to affiliate
Text: "Arrangements for affiliation will be put in place without further delay, allowing trade union organisations, tenants' unions/associations, campaign groups, and socialist parties to affiliate."
The link to give support to that amendment is at https://in.yourparty.uk/en/motions/44

Secondly, Local elections and defending local jobs & services
Adding to strategic objectives - "The 2026 local elections are a huge opportunity to stand Your Party candidates that can expose and cut across all the pro-austerity parties, not least Reform UK. To build for such a stand, our Party branches should organise open public conferences, including representatives of trade unions, community organisations, socialist parties, and others, to discuss their local community’s needs and draw up a no-cuts ‘People's Budget’ based on those needs, not Starmer’s continued austerity. Your Party candidates will pledge to take these issues and more into the council chambers, campaigning for a no-cuts budget that meets the needs of our communities and demanding the money to pay for it from the central government."

Socialist Party members involved in promoting this petition have organised a fringe meeting on Saturday, immediately after the conference, at a hotel one minute away, to promote the two key areas above, and to which I've been invited as a speaker:

Socialist Party fringe meeting
ALL WELCOME
Saturday 29 November 
6.30 - 8.30 pm
Pullman Hotel, King's Dock, Port of Liverpool, L3 4FP

Speakers include:
Dave Nellist, former socialist Labour MP and now chair of the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition
Hannah Sell, Socialist Party general secretary
Dave Walsh, Liverpool Trades Council president

If you can promote the amendments above, and come to the fringe meeting (or forward this email to anyone you know who is attending), I will be speaking about this petition and the meetings we have held now in 11 different unions, promoting the need for a new working-class party with trade unions and trade unionists at its heart.

Thanks for your help,

Dave Nellist
