Everything you need to know about Your Party’s founding conference
Who will be speaking at Your Party conference?
The four Your Party MPs – Jeremy Corbyn, Zarah Sultana, Shockat Adam and Ayoub Khan are all expected to address the conference. Alongside this, representatives from left-wing parties across Europe are also expected to speak to attendees.
What will Your Party’s new name be?
One of the things being decided at the conference this weekend will be the new name for the party. Leading figures have consistently described ‘Your Party’ as merely a holding name, with the permanent name to be decided at the founding conference.
The new name of the party, as agreed by members, is expected to be announced on Sunday.
Thousands to gather in Liverpool for inaugural Your Party conference
THOUSANDS are set to gather in Liverpool on Saturday for the eagerly awaited inaugural Your Party conference.
Delegates selected through a sortition process, designed to ensure fair representation, will travel from around the country to debate the party’s founding documents at the ACC arena.
With a membership of 50,000, the party is the largest socialist party in Britain in 80 years.
The road to conference
Our Founding Conference will be held in Liverpool on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 November.
By mid-October our founding process will have begun in earnest – we have opened our membership portal, are initiating wide democratic debate and will soon publish draft versions of our four core founding documents: our Political Statement, Constitution, Rules, and Organisational Strategy.
We will host mass regional assemblies where thousands of members will come together to listen to each other, debate and revise the founding documents face to face. All members will be able to comment, suggest changes, and track how each document develops.
In November, thousands of in-person founding conference delegates will be chosen by lottery to ensure a fair balance of gender, region, and background. These delegates will have a big responsibility – to debate the founding documents, propose amendments and vote on them at the conference in Liverpool. The final decision will be up to all members through an online, secure, one-member-one-vote system.
This is your time
Your Party was launched in July 2025 by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana to found a political party that was an alternative to the status quo and to decades of neoliberalism, austerity and the demonisation of refugees and marginalised communities.
The founding process is being stewarded by the six members of the Independent Alliance. This isn’t just another political party. It’s about doing politics differently – where decisions are shaped by all of us, power is returned to communities, and principles come first.
»Wir können unabhängig von unseren Regierungen handeln«
(October 16, 2025)
Gibt es Überlegungen, aus der Flottila eine dauerhafte Bewegung gegen Apartheid und Genozid zu entwickeln?
Flotillas gibt es ja schon seit Beginn der Blockade und es wird sie auch so lange geben, bis sie endet. Durch die Sumud Flotilla haben sich unglaublich viele Menschen kennengelernt und vernetzt. Viele haben verstanden, wie wichtig kollektive Organisation ist. Der Generalstreik in Italien – dass Arbeiterinnen und Arbeiter den italienischen Staat zum Handeln gezwungen haben – hat gezeigt, was es praktisch bedeutet, wenn sich alle zusammentun. Ich bin sicher, dass daraus etwas entstehen wird. Diese Netzwerke werden wachsen.
The Global Flotilla has officially split its course. One group of boats will wait for reinforcements from Barcelona, while the other heads straight for Tunisia.
On board, @thiagoavilabrasil shares what’s happening in real time with @yusufomar
When the World Stays Silent, We Set Sail. #SAILTOGAZA
Coordinators, organizers, and participants from the Maghreb Sumud Flotilla, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition*, Global Movement to Gaza, and the Sumud Nusantara have united under a common goal: to break the illegal siege on Gaza by sea, open a humanitarian corridor, and end the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people. This Summer, dozens of boats will set sail from ports around the world, large and small, converging toward Gaza in the largest coordinated civilian flotilla in history.
Live: Global Sumud Flotilla launches from Barcelona to challenge Gaza blockade
Streamed live 9 hours ago
Barcelona, Spain – The Global Sumud Flotilla is launching from Barcelona, with international activists, artists and human rights advocates taking part in a symbolic journey to challenge Israel’s blockade of Gaza.
Speakers at the event include Greta Thunberg, Saif Abukeshek, Thiago Ávila, and actors Liam Cunningham and Eduard Fernández. The flotilla, named after the Arabic word sumud (steadfastness), sets sail as part of a broader call for solidarity with Palestinians under siege.
Global Sumud Flotilla Departs from Barcelona to Gaza, to join Tunisia convoy on Sep 4
The global fleet of boats departed from Spain’s Barcelona on Sunday for Gaza as part of an international maritime initiative aimed at delivering humanitarian aid to starving people in Gaza.
In support, thousands of people turned up to show solidarity with Gaza and support the members who will embark on this journey.
The first convoy, consisting of dozens of small civilian vessels carrying activists, humanitarians, doctors, seafarers, and humanitarian supplies, is scheduled to depart from Spanish ports on August 31 to meet up in Tunisia with a second wave on September 4.
Massive Attack Form Alliance For Musicians Facing ‘Intimidation’ In Music Industry Over Palestinian Support
While the statement did not name any specific bands, it got re-shared by two acts that have come under fire recently for their pro-Palestinian comments, Northern Irish rap group Kneecap and Irish rock band Fontaines D.C., as well as Brian Eno and Garbage.
British punk duo Bob Vylan recently courted controversy by shouting “Free Palestine” and “Death to the IDF” during their Glastonbury Festival set — the latter in reference to the Israel Defense Forces — an action that led to their being dropped by their booking agent, as well as a police investigation into the incident and the cancellation of festival appearances and European tour dates with Gogol Bordello.
Massive Attack Launch Alliance for Musicians Facing ‘Intimidations From Within Our Industry’ for Supporting Gaza
The band shared a statement on Instagram saying they hope help protect other artists from the “organized censorship” many have experienced after speaking out.
“The scenes in Gaza have moved beyond description,” the band wrote. “We write as artists who’ve chose to use our public platforms to speak out agains the genocide occurring there & the role of the UK Government in facilitating it. Because of our expressions of conscience, we’ve been subject to various intimidations from within our industry (live & recorded) & legally via organized bodies such as UK Lawyers For Israel; whose range of activities has now finally been exposed in a new documentary film projected last night by the Led By Donkeys collective.”
Der Republik fehlt eine Partei
(December 14, 2015)
„Die Grünen“ und „Die Linke“ werden von oben, über deren Kader, durch die transatlantische Atlantikbrücke gelenkt. Alle derzeitigen Bundestagsparteien sind in Überparteien auf E.U.-Ebene organisiert. Eine tatsächliche Opposition findet parlamentarisch nicht statt. Und außerparlamentarisch ist die Opposition schwach, verwirrt und in großen Teilen ebenfalls nicht mehr verfassungstreu und schwafelt genauso von „Europa“ wie anno dünnemal der Pfaffe auf der Kanzel zum ausgeplünderten Pöbel über dessen Heil nach dem Tod.
Allen, die sich als klassische Sozialdemokratinnen und Sozialdemokraten in der Tradition von Rosa und Karl, oder mindestens Willy Brandt sehen, alle die sich als links, sozialistisch, emanzipatorisch, Bürgerrechtler oder liberalistisch sehen, rate ich dringend jetzt die Faxen und das ganze Geschwafel zu lassen und zur Tat zu schreiten.
Ohne Partei wird in der Republik nichts besser werden. Und so oder so muss es eine Partei für die Republik sein, und nicht gegen sie.
Support for a Third Political Party in the U.S. Dips to 58%
(October 1, 2024)
Fifty-eight percent of U.S. adults agree that a third major party is needed in the U.S. because the Republican and Democratic parties “do such a poor job” of representing the American people, marking the 12th consecutive majority-level reading in Gallup’s trend that stretches back more than two decades. While down five percentage points from last year’s record high, it is still on par with the average 56% support level over the course of the trend since 2003.
Petition to Support a Party of Working People
So here‘s a fresh question: What would you think if a million workers said they would be willing to back a new political effort?
One million names on a petition would show that the effort has a far wider reach than a fringe group or a self-promoter. One million names would signal to the political actors that there is mass support for building a new working-class political home. One million names might even push some Democrats to support pro-worker legislation.
Mobilizing a petition drive would cost relatively little and could start with a few progressive unions circulating one that read: …

The Pareto Project is a privately funded open source project based in Switzerland building publishing solutions for everyone to use, to develop and to build on.

Do Something Every Day To Help De-Normalize The Abuses Of The Empire
One very important task we can undertake as citizens of the western empire is to help de-normalize the tyranny, murderousness and savagery that the imperial propagandists work to normalize.
(…)
Denormalize poverty.
Denormalize injustice and inequality.
Denormalize the ruined buildings and ruined bodies in Gaza.
Denormalize the nuclear brinkmanship with Russia.
Denormalize the destruction of our biosphere in the ravages of ecocidal capitalism.
Denormalize the surging authoritarianism we’re experiencing as the empire works frantically to stomp out dissent.
Denormalize the war machinery rolling out around the world, and the increasingly militarized police forces in our streets.
Denormalize the psychopathy of the politicians and government officials who cheerfully serve the empire in facilitation of these horrors.
Denormalize the way media and government institutions controlled by the powerful work to manipulate the way we think and perceive every day of our fucking lives for the benefit of the powerful.
Secret meetings, social chatter: How Columbia students sparked a nationwide revolt
“We talked about what it was like to recruit people and join, and what it meant to stand in solidarity together, and what it would look like if these camps started popping up everywhere,” said Soph Askanase, 21-year-old junior at Barnard College who was arrested at Columbia.
What followed was the start of what historians now call one of the most consequential student uprisings the nation has seen in recent times.
Hostage Families Unite With Anti-Government Protests, Demanding Action
Tens of thousands of Israelis took to the streets on Saturday night, marking a significant shift in the ongoing protests led by the families of hostages held by Hamas. In an announcement, Eli Albag, whose daughter Liri is among those captured, declared the end of separate gatherings at Hostages’ Square in Tel Aviv. Instead, he urged everyone to merge with the broader anti-government protests, signaling a new phase of intensified demonstrations, a representation of the frustration felt among the families and supporters of the hostages following the government’s inability to secure their release since the outbreak of hostilities on October 7.

Eindrücke zur Friedensdemonstration „Nein zu Kriegen“ in Berlin
Am 25.11.2023 fand in Berlin eine Friedensdemonstration vor dem Brandenburger Tor statt, zu der ein breites Bündnis aufgerufen hatte. Die diffamierende, mediale „Berichterstattung“, von der die NachDenkSeiten bereits berichtet haben, veranlasst Ala Goldbrunner, ihre persönlichen Eindrücke vor Ort ohne Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit wiederzugeben.
Der Ablauf
Trotz unwirtlichem, naßkaltem Wetter fanden sich am letzten Samstag laut Veranstalter ca. 20.000 Friedensaktivisten vor dem Brandenburger Tor ein, um gegen Militarisierung und Krieg, für Frieden, Diplomatie und Abrüstung zu demonstrieren. Die Polizei sprach am Nachmittag von 10.000 Teilnehmern.
Sehr hörenswert waren die überwiegend eindringlichen und dennoch besonnenen Reden, die am Ende des Textes verlinkt sind.
Machsom Watch: About us
In January 2001, three Jewish Jerusalemite women first saw a military checkpoint in the West Bank and obeyed their conscience. From this point, MachsomWatch grew as an organization whose members are women of all walks of life in Israeli society. Within two years our number rose from 75 to 500, women were thoroughly convinced that with our activity we would put an end to the occupation.
We have no administration, are all volunteers and our decisions are made by voting in a plenary meeting.
Mehazkim: About Us
Revolutions start online
‘Mehazkim’ [in Hebrew: ‘Strengthening’ or ‘Empowering’] is a progressive digital movement working to promote the values, ideas and solutions of the Israeli left. We are leading struggles for a more democratic Israel through effective digital campaigns and inclusive collaborations.
Winning Together
We established ‘Mehazkim’ because we realized that it is impossible to win alone; Because we were sick and tired of hiding and being afraid in the face of incitement and violence directed against us for years. Mehazkim aspires to be the main political and digital force of activists, organizations, initiatives and protests, as well as of ordinary citizens who feel empowered to act for a better Israel.
Strengthening the Israeli Left
The Israeli conservatives uses a variety of methods to dominate the agenda and produce a false representation of public support for nationalistic and illiberal ideas. We started as a small group of activists, and became a movement that works with all members of the broad democratic camp through innovative digital campaigns.
We are here to strengthen the left and to strengthen Israel – this is what we do.
Protest’s Lesson for Anti-occupation Left: Mobilize Israelis, Not International Community
This has brought them deserved admiration in the small bubble of the Western human-rights industry and helped with much-needed funding, and has done absolutely nothing to change the dismal situation on the ground, which has steadily gotten worse.
The plaudits and platforms abroad have not resulted in any pressure on successive Israeli governments to change their policies. Not one foreign government or major financial body has changed its policies towards Israel as a result.
In Two Weeks, Israel’s Pro-democracy Protest Could Seem Like a Walk in the Park
The joint leaders of the protest movement are constantly trying to synchronize the operations of more than 100 participating organizations. Eran Schwarz, an educator and former Air Force pilot and now the director of these efforts, told Haaretz that the number of communities in which protests were held last Saturday night jumped from 80 to over 100, and that the number of people participating in the demonstrations increasing weekly. (…)
One of the wise decisions made by protest leaders was to stay away from currently serving politicians. Opposition parties are not leading the protest and are only trying to ride the huge wave it is creating in the streets. In the central weekly rally in Tel Aviv, politicians who are currently serving in the Knesset have been barred from speaking. They’ve had to make do with subsidiary locations, in other cities.
Huge turnout tonight in Tel-Aviv, against the policies of the Far-Right government. Thousands of our purple placards, in Hebrew and Arabic, were raised in the rally, saying: THIS IS THE HOME OF ALL OF US. We will continue to fight for equality, democracy, justice and peace.

ABOUT US
Currently, the Israeli Left is dominated by professional NGOs, which despite their important work, can never become a political home for the masses. Meanwhile, Israel’s leftist political parties can no longer mobilize wide swaths of the population. Many people want progressive change: they support peace and oppose the occupation, they support equality and oppose racism, they support social justice and oppose rule by wealth. They need a movement to unite them, inspire them to take action, and turn their solidarity into a powerful political force.
Standing Together is this movement. We are building a shared home for all those who refuse hatred and choose empathy. We won’t erase our differences, but rather believe in a true partnership based on shared interests. This is the meaning of Standing Together.
