Momentum Edinburgh Meeting #5
David Hume Tower, 27th April
More details upcoming
This is our fifth meeting, where we will hear reports from the working groups and discuss the upcoming EU referendum.
Momentum is the UK-wide movement which emerged from Jeremy Corbyn’s successful campaign for leader of the Labour Party. It exists to support the ideas and values on which Corbyn was elected both within and outside Labour, connecting the party to trade unions, social movements and community campaigns.
Momentum Edinburgh is a hub for local supporters to get together, share experience and ideas, and coordinate our efforts to build peace, democracy and socialism. If you’d like to be added to our mailing list, please email momentumedinburgh [at] gmail [dot] com.
Please feel free to invite people and share the event widely! We look forward to seeing you there!
