LGBT Labour West Midlands campaigning in Coventry with Steve Thomas
LGBT Labour West Midlands will be out supporting Steven Thomas who has been selected to stand in Woodlands Ward, Coventry. In 2010 the Tories won this ward by just 21 votes so it is a key target seat for Labour. Located just off the A45, the ward is easily accessible from all parts of the Midlands.
On 25 February Woodlands will be at the centre of Labour’s campaigning in Coventry, with activists from all over the city coming to help for a morning of leafleting, followed by a pub lunch and an afternoon stint of door-knocking. Colleagues from across the Midlands are welcome, especially if you have no local elections in your area! A full introduction will be available on the day if you have not been out on the doorstep before. We’re a friendly bunch and would love you to join us.
When: Saturday 25th February, 10am (1pm second session)
