Momentum launch a campaign to train and platform young BAME Labour Party members to improve the representation of people of colour in both the party and wider society.
The campaign kicks off a period of twelve months which will see Momentum work with partners including Operation Black Vote, NUS Black Students’ Campaign and The Media Fund to provide training and support for 250 BAME people under the age of 30 to become leaders in their local community and stand for elected positions in Momentum, the Labour Party, trade unions, local councils and parliament.
The training includes press and spokesperson training, specialised support for current and prospective councillors, campaign-building training, mentoring and more.
