Socialist Society affiliated to the Labour Party, for Labour members who care about housing and homelessness
LHG members who are thinking about standing for office – for example, to be an MP – may want to ask a group they belong to to endorse them as a candidate.
LHG will happily say that we endorse LHG members who we believe will stand up for housing and will pursue LHG’s objectives, and we have developed a policy about who we would support and why.
You must be a current LHG member, and fully paid-up for at least 6 months.
We ask you to write to us with a statement about why your experience and history of housing activism makes you suitable to be endorsed by LHG (up to 250 words), and another saying why housing is an important issue in the constituency that you hope to represent (up to 250 words).
We’ll follow the same process for LHG members seeking selection as Scottish Government or Welsh Assembly candidates, for Mayoral positions, or for the CLP or Youth part of the NEC.
We may support more than one person if two or more LHG members who want to stand for the same position fit the criteria.
We will be pleased to support LHG members who have been active in campaigning for better housing policies or practices at a local or national level, whether this has been in a Labour Party capacity or otherwise.
Where two or more people are putting themselves forward for the same Parliamentary seat, we may endorse more than one candidate where our criteria are met.
Please write to the Secretary at info@labourhousing.org if you want to ask for our support.
