1987 Committee LP

🌍 Happy International Women’s Day from the 1987 Committee
Today we celebrate the strength, leadership and impact of women across our communities and beyond.

Women who lead with courage.
Women who inspire change.
Women who uplift and empower others.
Across politics, public service, business and community life, women continue to shape a more inclusive and equitable future.

The 1987 Committee is proud to stand alongside women who are driving progress and opening doors for the next generation.
Today we celebrate their achievements, their resilience and their leadership.
Happy International Women’s Day to all the incredible women making a difference every day.

Ramadan Mubarak

Today marks Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent, a season of reflection, humility and spiritual renewal for many in our communities.
At the 1987 Committee, we recognise the importance of faith, reflection and service in shaping character and leadership.
May this Lenten season be one of purpose, compassion and intentional growth.

What an incredible evening for the 1987 Committee!
We brought together MPs, councillors, local Labour candidates, youth leaders and community partners for an inspiring fundraising dinner focused on strengthening grassroots political leadership.

Thank you to every MP and speaker who gave their time to support emerging candidates ahead of the local elections. Your encouragement and visibility means more than you know.
To the young people and community leaders in the room, your engagement and questions reminded us exactly why this work matters.

The 1987 Committee is committed to building leadership pathways, supporting candidates and ensuring representation is not accidental but intentional.
We look forward to being out on the ground supporting candidates in the coming weeks.

In Conversation with James Asser , Tonight, 7PM on our YouTube channel.
Politics often looks polished from the outside but the journey into public life is rarely straightforward, and the realities behind the scenes are far more demanding than most people ever see.
The 1987 Committee sits down with James Asser MP for one of our most open and reflective conversations yet exploring his personal journey, the tough realities of political life, and the hope, resilience and advice he wants to pass on to the next generation of Labour leaders.
In this intimate and honest discussion, he speaks about:
• How his lived experiences shaped his values and political purpose
• The realities of navigating Parliament, community expectations and public scrutiny
• What keeps him grounded when political life becomes difficult
• How new leaders can enter politics with courage, clarity and authenticity
• Why representation and community-rooted leadership matter now more than ever
This conversation is not just for those in public office it’s for anyone considering stepping forward, anyone serving their community, and anyone who believes in the power of political leadership to create real change.
