Co-op Party Live: Equalities

International Women’s Day

All members are invited to join us as we celebrate 2024’s International Women’s Day and explore the pivotal role women play in the cooperative movement and how principles of solidarity, mutual aid, and democratic participation can serve as powerful tools for gender equality and women’s empowerment.  Join us as we share stories of our elected women Labour & Co-operative representatives across the UK and encourage more women to stand for election and represent their own communities.
Speakers include:
  • Stella Creasy MP – activist, campaigner, MP for Walthamstow and Co-op Party National Executive Committee Members for London.
