Your Lib Dems Need You!

Newham, Barking & Dagenham are among the most diverse areas in the country and we want our local party to reflect that amazing mix of people. The Liberal Democrats are fully committed to equality & diversity but sadly, too often the people who comprise our leadership may not reflect our communities fully. We believe that to represent a community best, our party should be made up of members of our diverse communities. You can help us achieve that ambition. There are loads of different ways to get involved including as a member of our party leadership. Get in touch using the form below if you want to be involved!

"Upholding these values of individual and social justice, we reject all prejudice and discrimination based upon race, colour, religion, age, disability, sex or sexual orientation and oppose all forms of entrenched privilege and inequality."

- Liberal Democrat Constitution

What does diversity look like?

Diversity is what makes us who we are and can take many forms. We want a party that is inclusive for all people and represents our community properly. We want all our members and supporters to have a valued place in the party no matter who they are. We are specifically looking to improve our engagement with often under-represented groups in political life. Examples include but are not limited to:
