Stop Disability Hate Crime – Home Office figures show sharp increases in disability hate crime, particularly given lockdowns applied in the periods covered and there are major gaps in recording and reporting.  Disabled people need change.

End Violence Against All Women and Girls – Pavilion Labour has called for an end to violence against all women and girls, expressed our love and support for all people continuing amid the aftermath of domestic violence, called for a review of disgraceful, aggressive policing of peaceful vigils and urged opposition to the Tory Government’s draconian Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill.

Welcome Labour Conference 2021 to Brighton – Brighton Pavilion Labour Party sends a warm welcome to everyone in Brighton for 2021 Labour Conference and asks delegates to #Lab21 to support our rule change proposing the PLP be fully accountable to conference, as well as our emergency motion opposing the AUKUS security pact, plus our four references back.  (Phew!  We’ve been busy!)  Most of all, don’t forget to visit our stall!  Find us at stand 100 of the conference exhibition.

Tackling Health Inequalities – after over a year of the Covid-19 pandemic, it’s no surprise that our Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic members had a lot to say about health inequalities.  Read our BAME Branch’s policy proposals for tackling health inequalities and follow the links provided to support those proposals in Labour’s 2021 national policy consultation.

Labour’s Green New Deal – we believe that Labour must put our Party’s socialist Green New Deal policies at the centre of all Labour Party policies.  Read Pavilion Labour’s submission to Labour’s 2021 national policy consultation and, if you want to, follow the links provided to comment and vote in support of it.

Hands Off MPS!  Staff, parents, pupils, governors, trade unions, local businesses, councillors and members of parliament have all strongly opposed the forced academisation of Moulsecoomb Primary School.  Please add your voice here to this local campaign and say: Hands Off Moulsecoomb Primary School. No academies!

Coronavirus – meetings suspended: In March 2020 the Labour Party paused all party activities as the coronavirus spread.  Our priority is your health and wellbeing.  Please look after yourselves and, if you feel able to, help to ensure that those who need support the most are not left to cope alone.  See here for NHS advice on coronavirus (COVID-19).

Support our Postal Workers – Pavilion Labour opposes zero hour contracts and the casualisation of employment. We ask all Labour members to support postal workers from the Communication Workers Union throughout their dispute with Royal Mail.

It’s our future!  Dan Carey, Pavilion Labour Youth Officer, calls on all Labour members and supporters to join-in the global climate strike and urges everyone to make sure all Labour supporters we know are registered to vote.

We Stand Together – Pavilion Labour will be standing in solidarity with all LGBT+ people, marching in the Parade as part of the Labour bloc, celebrating diversity, campaigning for equality and enjoying all the fun at Brighton Pride on 3 August 2019.  Labour has a proud record of championing the fight for LGBT+ equality.  Back Labour for a Government which will say no to austerity, yes to equality.  #WeStandTogether with all LGBT+ people because we’re #LabourAndProud.

Only a Labour Government can save our NHS said Pavilion Labour Chair, Jon Rogers, because only Labour will recreate the NHS as it was founded, to a system based on need not profit, including joint planning with a national care service. Labour’s transformative programme to rebuild Britain in the interests of the many not the few, is provoking attacks from those who oppose social progress. The best response from all Labour supporters is to talk to voters and take our Party’s message back to our streets.

Support Transgender People – Pavilion Labour’s motion to 2019 Labour Women’s Conference calls on Labour Women and Labour’s NEC to promote widely the Party’s policy of trans inclusivity, to consider how trans people can be supported to fully participate in our Party, and to ensure that Labour is inclusive of all.  Our motion calls for a campaign for equality for all.  We think that’s the sort of change all Labour members believe in and our delegates Katie and Elaine are asking Labour Women to support us in Telford at #LabWomen2019 this February.

Labour Conference has agreed policy to repeal Britain’s anti-trade union laws and introduce strong legal rights to organise, collectively bargain and strike.  Pavilion Labour believes that trade union freedom is a crucial issue for the whole labour movement.  We are asking other Labour Parties and Labour’s affiliates to endorse and promote a statement on the right to organise and strike. Pavilion Labour says: Free our trade unions!

Enjoy highlights of the main speeches with this playlist from Pavilion Labour’s Multi-cultural Eid Festival​, including the major speeches from Asmat Roe – Brighton & Hove Muslim Women’s Group and Vice-Chair of Brighton and Hove’s Racial Harassment Forum, who describes the history and ongoing work of the Forum in tackling and reducing racist and religiously-motivated incidents, and the reflections of self-described “Windrush minor” Bert Williams MBE.

Labour and the TUC agree that workers need a £10 an hour minimum wage, secure jobs and an end to zero hour contracts. Labour stands for a growing economy where our national wealth is shared rather than going to those who are already well off. People who have lived, worked and paid taxes in our country for years must not be deported because of the colour of their skin. The Windrush Generation is part of our society. We want a fair deal at work for everyone, not just those at the top.

Thanks to everyone who has signed our petition to Keep Our Ticket Offices Open.  You can be assured that Pavilion Labour will not let up our campaigning to keep station ticket offices open and to return our railways to public ownership, where the needs of passengers and our environment will be put before profit.
