Fancy attending a post-election discussion on Zoom?
Then you are invited to THE LEFT LANE’s Open Mic session on 5 July at 5:00 p.m.
By 10:00 on the morning of 5 July, the 2024 election and its results will be history. So what comes next? Perhaps a brief kip … and then you are invited by THE LEFT LANE to join a 60 minute-Zoom session at 5:00 p.m. on 5 July to discuss the election.
There should be plenty to talk about: How can we make progress under what is expected to be a majority -- a huge majority -- Labour government? How did other parties and a record number of “left independent” candidates do? What does 4 July mean for the right? What are next steps ahead to play our role in ending the Israeli genocide in Gaza? And what are the next steps in building other movements, such as those interested in building a mass socialist party, reforming our archaic electoral system, fighting climate change, and other issues.
No big name guests or speakers have been invited. Instead, it will be a chance for you to talk --- and listen --- with other progressives as we look back for lessons learned and scan ahead for new possibilities.
Here is how to get the Zoom link: 1) Send an email to: theleftlanepolitics@gmail.com ; 2) Put: “5 July Zoom” in the subject line; 3) We will send you the link.
Deadline for requests: 12 noon on 5 July.
