NDP Socialist Caucus Annual Federal Conference
November 26, 2011
The NDP Socialist Caucus will host a conference on November 26 to decide its position on the federal NDP leadership race.
The SC is concerned that some putative candidates for leader advocate a merger of the NDP with the big business-backed Liberal Party, and seek to steer the NDP on a policy course further to the right.
The SC also opposes suggestions that the party weaken its ties to the union movement, and/or eliminate the weighted vote of affiliated union members in the election of the next NDP federal leader. Socialists seek to increase and strengthen the labour character of the party, and to win it to the fight for a Workers' Agenda, counter to the corporate agenda and to prevailing anti-worker 'austerity' measures that dominate our society.
At the November 26 SC conference, members may decide to run a candidate for Leader, or to support one of the candidates then already running for the post.
SC policy resolutions, publications, forums, and candidates for party executive positions at the federal and Ontario NDP conventions in 2012 will also be on the agenda at the conference.
Time: 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
Venue: OISE, Room 2-213
Location: 252 Bloor Street West Toronto, ON
