Jeremy Corbyn has delivered a quick message ahead of a crucial Peace and Justice Project conference this weekend – reminding people he wants everyone to get involved.

The Peace and Justice Project: a conference of ‘5 Demands’

As the Canary previously reported, the Peace and Justice Project’s 5 Demands are five key policies that have risen up as popular demands for our country’s progressive movements as solutions to the challenges we face. Now, it’s taking the next step to bring these policies to the masses.

It will host a conference on these 5 Demands – and how society can win them. From climate breakdown to an overstretched NHS and from a failing economy to conflicts around the world, you can join Jeremy Corbyn and voices from across the movement for what the Peace and Justice Project calls an “empowering and educational series of discussions”.

The event will be held this Saturday 13 April at Hamilton House in Central London. It starts at 10am with panels on the 5 Demands:

  • A Payrise for All.
  • Green New Deal with Public Ownership.
  • Housing for All.
  • Tax the Rich to Save the NHS.
  • Welcome Refugees in A World Free from War.

Corbyn: get involved online

Corbyn said:

I’m looking forward to our 5 Demands to Build a Real Alternative conference this Saturday and hearing from inspiring trade unionists, campaigners and activists from across our movement. From discussions on housing and the climate crisis to winning a payrise and welcoming refugees it is set to be an insightful and empowering day.

And I’m really pleased that the event will also be streamed online meaning that you can join us from wherever in the world.

Corbyn continued:

I’ll be joined by Fran Heathcote, PCS General Secretary, climate activist MIkaela Loach, Chair of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, Louise Regan and a host of other talented speakers putting forward our demands of hope for a better future.
