Dear friends and comrades
Thank you for this string of emails that I have read. I am so sorry to hear about Bob W-F's experiences at NC on Sunday and that he was/is so upset. I also have found, as Bob W wrote, "I find our meetings interesting, educational and uplifting. Nobody is curtailed." I completely agree. Please may that continue with ourselves!
I am sorry to read that Mike got not a single reply from anyone to our resolution of August re the climate emergency and our positive, helpful, constructive ways forward to help deal with the crisis. THANK YOU, MIKE for sending out the resolution.
My own view is that we should still persist, with resolutions like the one we discussed on Saturday. Then vote on it and ask Mike to send it out to all the organisations, people and reporters he covered last month. I want Left Unity to get mentioned in the media and to be invited to comment. Very occasionally, like this morning, I get phoned by a reporter to comment after an email I sent to him last Friday. I always speak and write solely in my own name. I would love one of you others to be named as speaking or writing, officially on behalf of our party. Left Unity must get more media attention from senior members of the party like the rest of you are.
Would the rest of you authorise Mike to send out something on our behalf from Saturday's meeting and agreement that was unanimous, over trans rights?
If we persist every month, the media might, eventually, sit up and take notice of us - with a bit of luck! They'll see and acknowledge we are active, responsible, sensible and well able to make a mark in the West Midlands; in building a more sustainable, eco-socialist and inclusive society where the marginalised, the left out, the forgotten of our society are put front, back and centre.
Tim
