Read more Party news Our yearly Summer School is back again to help even more new members to learn and get involved with the Party. 5th July 2022 Last week saw the start of our 2022 Summer School – a series of sessions for new members to learn and get involved with the Party. It’s an exciting time to be a member of the Co-op Party as we continue to grow in members, election candidates and co-operators at every level of government. Co-operatives offer the opportunity to build a better world. 1st July 2022 As a Co-operative Party MSP and the Convener of the Cross-Party Group on Co-operatives in the Scottish Parliament, I was pleased to submit a motion to the Scottish Parliament highlighting these events and the wider benefits co-operatives can bring to our society. An Online Sales Tax could be the answer to save Heanor’s high streets. 29th June 2022 When the Co-op Party highlighted that the Government was consulting on an Online Sales Tax as a way of levelling the playing field between Internet-only businesses and those retailers that need a shop front presence, our branch was keen to help. Through our hard work and dedication, our Party is going from strength to strength – but we mustn’t stop now. 27th June 2022 Hard work will be what it takes for us to move our Party forward in the way we want. The good news is our Party is becoming a fantastic team prepared to go above and beyond. Owning the Future Conference Our Conference brought together speakers from across the co-operative and labour movements to discuss how we own the future. Don't worry if you missed it, you can catch-up all the main sessions online. Watch Support our campaigns Nutritious and healthy food is a right. Millions of people in the UK are struggling to feed themselves and their families. The food poverty crisis in the UK is not getting the attention it sorely needs. That’s why the Co-operative Party is campaigning for food justice, tackling food poverty locally, and campaigning for a more strategic approach to the issue nationally. Join the Campaign Protect the spaces that bring us together. Love it? List it! is our campaign to help communities take the first step to protect the loved local places like parks, pubs and post offices from being sold-off. We're aiming to list over 1,000 local spots as "assets of community value" and fighting to give communities more powers to protect and eventually own the local places that bind them together. Join the Campaign Violence, Abuse, Threats: It's not part of the job. Nobody should face violence at work. Yet every day, more than 400 retail workers are attacked – just for doing their jobs. That's why we're working co-op societies and Usdaw to back a change to the law to secure stronger protections for shopworkers and tougher penalties against those who assault or threaten them. Join the Campaign Nowhere to hide for modern slavery in our supply chains. Modern Slavery is one of the great evils of our time and it’s happening under our noses. We're helping lead the fight to stamp it out. The Co-operative Party's Charter Against Modern Slavery commits councils to proactively vet their supply chain to ensure no instances of modern slavery are taking place.
