Two new members in Stoke say why they joined.

I joined the Socialist Party looking for a real alternative to combat austerity, racism and erosion of workers’ rights.

After seeing the attacks from the media on Jeremy Corbyn and the defeat of the left wing of the Labour Party, I realised to push for change I needed to take part in an organisation that engages with local people, takes an active role in the community, and continues to push socialist ideals.

Seeing the Socialist Party out supporting Black Lives Matter really convinced me to join, and I’m looking forward to being more active politically.

I thought long and hard about joining the Socialist Party, as I was unsure where to go after Jeremy Corbyn. My decision to join came after seeing that the Socialist Party holds the same principles.

I’ve been putting the Socialist Party in all the Jeremy Corbyn groups I’m in and letting them know we are an alternative to the right-wing Labour Party. I am trying to get more to join us.
