Labour Against Zionist Islamophobic Racism (LAZIR) is opening its doors to those who are not Labour Party members by offering free Associate membership. So we now have two kinds of membership at LAZIR - Full and Associate.
"Full" is for those who are current or expelled Labour Party members; those trade unionists paying the political levy/affiliated supporter and those in the Co-operative Party, which affiliates to local Labour CLPs.
"Associate" would be for anyone who supported our aims and policies but was not in any of these bodies.
Only Full members would get to vote at the AGM or any EGMs. Those with Associate membership could attend, could speak, but could not be office bearers or vote on motions. You can join LAZIR at www.tinyurl.com/laziwork
We held our inaugural meeting in London on 1st June and we now have 45 members. In the past weeks we have published several statemements on things like Chris Williamson's suspension and these have been picked up by other publications.
And if you interested in going to either of the events below- and you’d care to flyer those attending with LAZIR flyers, please contact me at postmaster@roseburn32.plus.com There will be other LAZIR folk there but they could do with a hand.
