About Us

We are the Lewisham proto-branch of Your Party. We are a grassroots movement of local residents, campaigners, and volunteers organizing to fight against gentrification and stand for homes for people, not profit.

While the central committee is formally establishing the national party structure, we are actively building power and momentum on the streets of Lewisham.

What We Stand For

Housing Fighting against gentrification and campaigning for radical housing justice. We demand better living conditions, higher housing standards, and social rent for all.
Education Securing better resources for our youth, including universal free school meals and comprehensive nursery provision for every family.
No Cuts Protecting our vital public services from being sold off for private profit. We will never vote for austerity or cuts that hurt our residents.
Anti-Racism Strengthening our Sanctuary Borough status. We are anti-racist, anti-fascist, and fight for true equity and equality across every neighborhood.
Palestine Standing in unwavering international solidarity. We demand that the council completely divest from military manufacturing and companies complicit in genocide.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I join?

The easiest way is to use the signup form on our homepage. When you submit it, your email is securely shared with our local Lewisham organizing team so we can invite you to local events. You will then be automatically redirected to the national Your Party website, where you can complete your official, formal membership.

How do I get involved locally?

We are always looking for people to help deliver leaflets, run street stalls, or help with digital organizing. Check the "Events" or "Street Action" feeds on our homepage to see where we will be next, or just reply to one of our newsletter emails to say hello!

Do I have to pay to get involved here?

No! Volunteering your time locally in Lewisham is completely free. If you choose to become an official, card-carrying member of Your Party, any membership fees or donations are handled entirely through the national party's secure portal.

Who runs this website?

This site is built and maintained entirely by local Lewisham volunteers. We use a free, open-source tech stack to ensure our movement stays lean, cost-effective, and focused on community action rather than digital overhead.
