RESPECT - the Unity Coalition regional convention

Sheffield RESPECT | 02.03.2004 13:00 | Sheffield

On Sunday 7th March RESPECT - the Unity Coalition, a new political formation to challenge New Labour in the European and GLA elections will hold a special Convention in Leeds.

For all those who opposed Bush and Blair's war on Iraq, for all those against Blunkett's new terror legislation, for everyone against Foundation Hospitals and privatisation - a new coalition has been formed to challenge New Labour at the elections in June.

RESPECT - the Unity Coalition was founded at a 1500 strong meeting in London which agreed a founding declaration and elected a national executive. Amongst those elected were Salma Yaqoob, from Birmingham Stop the War Coalition, Mark Serwotka - president of the PCS civil servants union, George Galloway MP and Lindsey German - national convenor of the Stop the War Coalition.

In Sheffield a very successful and representative organising meeting of 45 people took place a week ago.

This Sunday there is a regional convention at 12.30pm in the Conference Auditorium at Leeds University. Coaches are booked and leave from Pater Noster Row at 11am (priced £7 and £4).
