Equality is one of the founding principles of the co-operative movement and central to our Party.  The Co-operative Party’s third annual Equalities Conference takes place on Zoom on Saturday 9th November from 10am to 12.30pm, will showcase some of the diverse themes that cut across our communities and impact us all.

At our Equalities Conference we will hear from people from throughout the Party to share ideas and discuss how to create change in a co-operative and intersectional way.

Members are invited to join the Conference by participating online from the comfort of their own homes.
