Building the Socialist Party


Harrogate

Harrogate may be one of the smallest Socialist Party branches but we have a regular Socialist Party town centre stall.

We get a good response to the campaigns against privatisation of Royal Mail and bringing the railways back under public, democratic control.

Our recent letters in the local paper referred to possible fracking in the district. We linked the socialist struggle against fracking with the struggle against austerity.

Congress

The Socialist Party’s 2014 national congress will take place on 8-10 March. Congress is the main decision-making body of the Socialist Party.

The documents on British Perspectives, party building, trade unions,• sales of the Socialist and finance have now been sent out to branches.

21 February is the deadline for branch resolutions, booking crèche places, and getting delegates names and £10 deposits to the national centre

28 February is the deadline for branch amendments and visitors’ names

We appeal to all Socialist Party members and readers of the Socialist to help support delegates’ and visitors’ attendance costs, as well as support the Congress fighting fund collection.
