Socialist Youth Network fringe @ LRC conference
How will the recession impact upon young people?
Will a new generation of young people fight back?
Or will we end up paying the price for the economic disaster of the Thatcherism and New Labour years?
Can we forge links between the labour movement and young people involved in extra-parliamentary political action?

So many questions, who will provide the answers?!
Socialist Youth Network is the youth caucus of the Labour Representation Committee.
We will be holding a meeting during the lunchbreak of LRC conference in order to elect some new volunteers to take SYN forward, to decide on priorities and tactics for the future, and to choose who will represent us on the LRC National Committee.
Hope to see you there @ 1pm (or when LRC conference breaks for lunch)
