Labour Society: Vice President

Firstly, I have always been a labour member with great interest in the party and the socialist philosophy since sixth form so standing in a leadership position such as Vice President of the UCL labour society would allow me to be able to advance and aid an organisation I love(even though it is at the grassroot level).Given my ability to be flexible, my great communication and organisation skills, as the VP, I will be able to ensure that the UCL labour party events run eloquently ,and are of high quality. People have always described me as someone 'everyone can get a long with' and that I am 'easy to approach'. Thirdly, I believe that some modifications are required within the UCL Labour society, I wish to stand in order to bring these changes:

- More and frequent socials so members can get to know each other better(once a week with a pub night every two weeks)

- Education program; Committee members will educate fellow members(and all those who are interested) on many aspects of the labour party and how you can further your involvement

- More exciting speakers, not just parliamentarians but also socialist academics and thinkers

- Amateur debate sessions with members on key issues such as how to tackle climate change/knife crime/housing crisis

These changes are designed to try and engage all members by providing a variety of events. I will bring my best to make sure that UCL labour society of 2022/23 is the best one yet.

Hi, I'm Amber. I study History and Politics of the Americas, and I'm running for Labour Society Vice Pesident.

Having been an active member of Labour for a few years now, I am well familiarised with the structure of the Labour Party, and want to serve it and the student body as best as I can. I have previously held the roles of Ethnic Minorities Officer in MidEssex Young Labour, and was Women's Officer in the exec. of my previous constintuency's Labour Party.

I therefore believe I am ready to take the next step as Vice President of the Labour Society at UCL, by supporting the executive committee, organising socials, debates and more informal discourse, presentations, and talks with key political figures, just as I did in my previous roles.

I also aim to increase the Labour Society's presence and membership at UCL, reaching as many students as possible to create a more positive future for us all.

Thanks for reading, and I hope I have your vote!
