I also think this is worth advertising as well.

Feminists4John McDonnell will be holding a meeting in January (24th) at Portcullis House @ 7pm.

It is open to women activists who are wanting to partipicate in the McDonnell campaign and how to take the campaign forward. It is vital to get women involved in the campaign and at the forefront. We need women activists.

I will be attending the meeting and hope something positive and dynamic will come out of it. On a kinda separate issue but linked is that some of my most positive political experiences were involved in LP Women's Sections in the 1980s. It did build confidence (personal/political level) around the demands we made as socialist women. Actually, I would like to see something similar in the McDonnell campaign
