Our inaugural branch meeting was a blast! We agreed a branch structure, set in motion dozens of member actions in our breakout groups and will be running our first committee elections THIS MONTH 😱
A group photo showing dozens of people standing on stage - there are tables in front of them littered with coffee cups and meeting notes, while screens behind them show the last of our meeting slides. Everything is a little bit pinker than you'd expect, as the hall we were in was heated by infrared lamps to keep us cozy on a brisk wintery evening 🥶

Against a greyscale backdrop of raised fists, red text reads: "Our first branch meeting! Join us at Your Party Edinburgh’s first branch meeting! After a fantastic evening at our first regional assembly, we want to keep the momentum going and start work on the priorities our assemblers laid out - we’ll be meeting at 1830 on Thursday 20/11 at Augustine United Church Hall on George IV Bridge to get started. We’ll be discussing the direction we want to take as a branch while Your Party continues to form, what our branch will look like in the coming weeks and months, and what we can do now to hit the ground running."

YP statement on the events of today
Against a greyscale background of raised fists, red text reads: "STATEMENT FROM YP EDINBURGH The excitement of this morning has already given way to gossip and rumour of infighting among the MPs, and many are worried about the impact this will have on the launch of Your Party. Fortunately, Your Party doesn't belong to the MPs, it belongs to all of us. The events of today are exactly why grassroots power is what this country needs. We will continue our work in our communities to build on the excitement that fills the air in Edinburgh and all across the UK. When this squabble is resolved and we can share something concrete with you we will, but for now we are focused on the task at hand and can't wait to share the results with you soon! We still recommend that you sign up to become a member at the link, but you can still join our organising without doing so until this is resolved."

Be part of history.
Against a backdrop of raised fists, red text reads: "BE PART OF HISTORY Today, we advance the process of founding our new party — one that belongs to its members, not to the establishment. Britain’s political class is united. They pursue war and profit, while our lives get worse. For too long, the rich have set this country’s political agenda. Not any more. Our party will take the power back. Achieving this objective requires a mass democratic movement that meets people where they’re at, organises with them to build power in our communities and lays strong foundations to transform our country. We can do this. But it’ll take all of us. In the next two weeks, we will kick off the full founding process: opening our membership portal, initiating wide democratic debate and publishing draft versions of our four core founding documents — our Political Statement, Constitution, Rules, and Organisational Strategy. " As previously, reading: "These documents will be drafts in the truest sense, ready to be edited and evolved. Members will be able to comment, suggest changes, and track how each document develops. Alongside this online process, Your Party will host huge regional deliberative meetings where thousands of members come together to listen to each other, break bread and debate the founding documents face to face. From Shetland to Cornwall, we’ll foster a political culture of healthy discussion and disagreement, enabling thousands to weigh in with their ideas, questions and concerns. In November, thousands of in-person founding conference delegates will be chosen by lottery to ensure a fair balance of gender, region, and background. These delegates will have a big responsibility – to debate the founding documents, propose amendments and vote on them at the conference." As previously, reading: "The final decision will be up to all members through an online, secure, one-member-one-vote system. And we want to go further. We know Your Party can - and must - be even bigger. Keep an eye on your inbox to get involved in The People Speak, a massive door knocking campaign to ask people what they want from a new party and inviting them to join in. Timeline at a glance: September: Membership opens, first draft documents published and regional assemblies start. October: Assemblies continue, draft documents revised, online vote on party name. November: Delegates selected, amendments submitted, founding conference takes place. Finally, if you want to get more active in Your Party and help members take the lead then we need you to help run the regional assemblies." As previously, reading: "Sign up at the link in our bio to become a facilitator and help ensure we have fun, energising and inclusive conversations at these massive regional assemblies. We’ll be offering online training in advance. Reject the drive to war. The rush to cut wages. The clamour to slash services. The attempts to divide us. Fight for a different future: For your class and your community. This is your chance to be part of something new. Something different. In Solidarity, Your Party"
