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.

Karl Liebknecht proklamiert am 09.11.1918 die Sozialistische Republik Deutschland (Auszug)

(Vossische Zeitung Nr. 576 vom 10. 11. 1918)

»Der Tag der Revolution ist gekommen. Wir haben den Frieden erzwungen. Der Friede ist in diesem Augenblick geschlossen. Das Alte ist nicht mehr. Die Herrschaft der Hohenzollern, die in diesem Schloß jahrhundertelang gewohnt haben, ist vorüber. In dieser Stunde proklamieren wir die freie sozialistische Republik Deutschland. Wir grüßen unsere russischen Brüder, die vor vier Tagen schmählich davongejagt worden sind.« Liebknecht wies dann auf das Hauptportal des Schlosses und rief mit erhobener Stimme: »Durch dieses Tor wird die neue sozialistische Freiheit der Arbeiter und Soldaten einziehen. Wir wollen an der Stelle, wo die Kaiserstandarte wehte, die rote Fahne der freien Republik Deutschland hissen!«

Die Soldaten der Schloßwache, die auf dem Dach sichtbar waren, schwenkten die Helme und grüßten zur Menge herab, die auf das Tor zudrängte. Es wurde langsam geöffnet, um dem Automobil Liebknechts Einlaß zu gewähren. Die Menge wurde davon zurückgehalten, zu folgen. Nach einigen Minuten erschienen, von der Menge stürmisch begrüßt, die Soldaten der Schloßwache ohne Waffen und Gepäck. Kurze Zeit darauf zeigte sich Liebknecht mit Gefolgschaft auf dem Balkon, von dessen Grau sich eine breite rote Decke abhob.

»Parteigenossen«, begann Liebknecht, »der Tag der Freiheit ist angebrochen. Nie wieder wird ein Hohenzoller diesen Platz betreten. Vor 70 Jahren stand hier am selben Ort Friedrich Wilhelm IV. und mußte vor dem Zug der auf den Barrikaden Berlins für die Sache der Freiheit Gefallenen, vor den fünfzig blutüberströmten Leichnamen seine Mütze abnehmen. Ein anderer Zug bewegt sich heute hier vorüber. Es sind die Geister der Millionen, die für die heilige Sache des Proletariats ihr Leben gelassen haben. Mit zerspaltenem Schädel, in Blut gebadet wanken diese Opfer der Gewaltherrschaft vorüber, und ihnen folgen die Geister von Millionen von Frauen und Kindern, die für die Sache des Proletariats in Kummer und Elend verkommen sind. Und Abermillionen von Blutopfern dieses Weltkrieges ziehen ihnen nach. Heute steht eine unübersehbare Menge begeisterter Proletarier an demselben Ort, um der neuen Freiheit zu huldigen. Parteigenossen, ich proklamiere die freie sozialistische Republik Deutschland, die alle Stämme umfassen soll, in der es keine Knechte mehr geben wird, in der jeder ehrliche Arbeiter den ehrlichen Lohn seiner Arbeit finden wird. Die Herrschaft des Kapitalismus, der Europa in ein Leichenfeld verwandelt hat, ist gebrochen. Wir rufen unsere russischen Brüder zurück. Sie haben bei ihrem Abschied zu uns gesagt: >Habt Ihr in einem Monat nicht das erreicht, was wir erreicht haben, so wenden wir uns von Euch ab.< Und nun hat es kaum vier Tage gedauert.« »Wenn auch das Alte niedergerissen ist«, fuhr Liebknecht fort, »dürfen wir doch nicht glauben, daß unsere Aufgabe getan sei. Wir müssen alle Kräfte anspannen, um die Regierung der Arbeiter und Soldaten aufzubauen und eine neue staatliche Ordnung des Proletariats zu schaffen, eine Ordnung des Friedens, des Glücks und der Freiheit unserer deutschen Brüder und unserer Brüder in der ganzen Welt. Wir reichen ihnen die Hände und rufen sie zur Vollendung der Weltrevolution auf. Wer von euch die freie sozialistische Republik Deutschland und die Weltrevolution erfüllt sehen will, erhebe seine Hand zum Schwur (alle Hände erheben sich und Rufe ertönen: Hoch die Republik!). Nachdem der Beifall verrauscht war, ruft ein neben Liebknecht stehender Soldat und schwenkt die rote Fahne, die er in den Händen trägt: »Hoch lebe ihr erster Präsident Liebknecht!« Liebknecht schloß: »Soweit sind wir noch nicht. Ob Präsident oder nicht, wir müssen alle zusammenstehen, um das Ideal der Republik zu verwirklichen. Hoch die Freiheit und das Glück und der Frieden!«

Bald darauf wurde an dem Mast der Kaiserstandarte die rote Fahne gehißt.

Wall Street reckons with life under Zohran Mamdani

New York City‘s CEOs and other billionaire business leaders spent more than $40 million trying to stop Mamdani from becoming the city‘s next mayor. Now they have to live with him — and their reactions range from threatening to leave the city to pragmatic acceptance.

„I think it‘s the stages of grief,“ says Kathryn Wylde, who runs the Partnership for New York City, an influential business group that represents more than 300 large employers.

NYC early voting ends with record turnout, shattering 2021 stats

Early voting has ended in New York City, and the initial numbers show the highest early voting turnout for a non-presidential election in the city.

The New York City Board of Elections reported 735,317 early voting check-ins over the past nine days. That‘s more than four times the total from the 2021 mayoral race, which reported only 169,879 early voting check-ins for the general election.

2025 Mayor’s Race – EARLY VOTING: Turnout sets a non-presidential election year record as NYC Mayor’s Race energizes the city

A whopping 732,866 voters cast ballots over the nine days of early voting in the New York City mayor’s race this year, according to an amNewYork analysis of early voter data from the city Board of Elections.

The general election’s early voting turnout this year marked the highest number of votes cast before Election Day in a non-presidential election year since the city implemented early voting in 2019.

Mamdani wurde 1991 als Sohn indischstämmiger Eltern in Uganda geboren; seine Mutter ist Filmemacherin, sein Vater ein renommierter Politikprofessor. Später zog die Familie nach New York. Seit seinem Studium engagiert sich Mamdani politisch und gehört als Mitglied der „Democratic Socialists of America“ zum linken Flügel der Demokraten. 2021 zog er für seinen Wahlkreis im New Yorker Stadtteil Queens ins Parlament des Bundesstaats New York ein.

Kamala Harris Thinks Trump Is a “Communist.” That’s Insane.

The contrast between this and the “Fighting Oligarchy” message could hardly be starker. Where Sanders and AOC have been crisscrossing the country promoting the message that Trump should be rejected because he’s a servant of wealthy and powerful “titans of industry,” Harris wants to appeal to the oligarchs themselves to save us from the “communist” Trump.

California governor Gavin Newsom recently took a similar line. In his appearance on the Pivot podcast, Newsom responded to host Kara Swisher’s question about Mamdani by bringing up Trump’s deal with Intel, whereby the government agreed to buy almost 10 percent of the company’s stock.

Mamdani and Trump, the governor suggested, weren’t so different. Newsom said it “sounds like Trump’s been paying a lot of attention to” Mamdani, given Trump’s “desire to socialize great American companies.” Just like Mamdani wants to start a few municipally owned grocery stores in New York, Trump wants to do something similar, Newsom contended, through public ownership of a slice of Intel. According to Newsom, it’s “just perverse” that someone like Mamdani could be “shaping the Democratic Party in the context of the socialist brand” when Democrats should be pointing out every day that Trump “is the leading nationalist and socialist of our time.”

New York’s Most Powerful Democrat Hasn’t Endorsed Mamdani. Yet.

(August 14, 2025)

The governor is not alone in her hesitancy. Prominent Democrats from New York — including the Senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer; Senator Kirsten Gillibrand; and the House minority leader, Hakeem Jeffries — have not made an endorsement in the race. Of the 10 House Democrats in New York City, only four have endorsed Mr. Mamdani.

Like House Democrats, Ms. Hochul is facing re-election next year, potentially against Representative Elise Stefanik, a top Republican supporter of President Trump. Some political observers think that an enthusiastic endorsement of Mr. Mamdani could hurt the governor in more conservative areas of the state.

»In der Politik sollte es darum gehen, Menschen zu ermächtigen«

Wenn rund 650.000 Menschen sich für ein neues Projekt interessieren und sich anmelden, machen sie das nicht ohne Grund: Sie melden sich an, weil sie es satthaben. Sie haben es satt, immer ärmer zu werden, während die Reichen immer reicher werden. Sie haben es satt, dass die Gebühren für die Wasserversorgung steigen, obwohl die Rohre platzen und Abwasser in unsere Meere fließt. Sie haben es satt, eigentlich selbstverständliche Forderungen stellen zu müssen – wie zum Beispiel, dass Menschen mit Behinderung ausreichend Unterstützung erhalten, um ein Leben in Würde führen zu können – und trotzdem ignoriert zu werden. Sie haben es satt, von Entscheidungen, die ihr alltägliches Leben betreffen, ausgeschlossen zu werden.

Trump to use Communist Control Act against Zohran Mamdani? Here‘s what it means – is his deportation possible?

As Zohran Mamdani wins the Democratic primary in mayoral polls in New York, some Republicans are calling on Donald Trump’s administration to revoke his citizenship and deport him from the country or use the Communist Control Act of 1954 against him. Mamdani became a US citizen in 2018.

Donald Trump threatens to arrest NYC mayoral Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani

(July 1, 2025)

Trump threatened to arrest Mamdani if as mayor he follows through on pledges not to assist federal officials enforcing immigration laws.

“Well then, we’ll have to arrest him,” Trump told reporters on July 1 while visiting a detention center in Florida. Trump said that he would “be watching over him very carefully on behalf of the nation.”

Trump also said „a lot of people are saying he‘s here illegally,“ which is false. Mamdani is a naturalized U.S. citizen born in Uganda, who immigrated to the United States with his parents − film director Mira Nair and Columbia University professor Mahmood Mamdani − at the age of seven.

Brad Lander Is the Happiest Loser

In the last few days of this race, you spoke often about your alliance with Mamdani, saying “Jewish New Yorkers and Muslim New Yorkers are not going to be divided.” What has it been like for you to promote this example of solidarity between the two of you at a time when many have sought to drive a wedge between these two communities?

The year and a half plus since October 7 has been excruciating. I am a proud Jewish New Yorker, the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in city government, and these issues matter a lot to me. Watching surging antisemitism culminating in these horrific incidents in D.C. and Boulder has been really frightening. I’ve talked to a lot of Jewish New Yorkers who are anxious. For me, that’s always gone along with believing in equal humanity. We have this Jewish term, b’tzelem Elohim. That means everyone’s equally created in God’s image. Palestinian kids in Gaza deserve just as much safety and opportunity to thrive as my kids do.

Zohran Mamdani Delivers Stunning Blow to ‚Billionaire-Backed Status Quo‘ in NYC

Disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who was backed by prominent national Democrats and an unprecedentedly deep-pocketed super PAC funded by billionaires and corporations, conceded defeat after it became clear that Mamdani‘s lead was insurmountable. With 93% of the votes tallied, Mamdani led Cuomo 43.5% to 36.4%.

Mamdani‘s primary win, a stunning upset, is expected to become official after the ranked-choice tally next week. In his victory speech, Mamdani said that his campaign and its supporters „made history.“

„In the words of Nelson Mandela, ‚It always seems impossible until it is done,'“ he added. „My friends, we have done it.“

A New Political Star Emerges Out of a Fractured Democratic Party

That Mr. Mamdani had such success while running on a far-left agenda, including positions that once were politically risky in New York — like describing Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide and calling for new taxes on business — may challenge the boundaries of party orthodoxy and unnerve national Democratic leaders.

Drum links, zwei, drei!
Drum links, zwei, drei!
Wo dein Platz, Genosse, ist!
Reih dich ein in die Arbeitereinheitsfront
Weil du auch ein Arbeiter bist.

Und weil der Mensch ein Mensch ist,
drum braucht er auch noch Kleider und Schuh‘.
Es macht ihn ein Geschwätz nicht warm
und auch kein Trommeln dazu.

„Einheitsfrontlied“ – German Workers‘ Song

The song was written in protest in 1934 in response to the banning of labour unions in the summer of 1934. It was first performed the same year in Strasbourg at the international worker‘s congress and became a widely known Anti-fascist song ever since.
