The Campaign for a New Workers' Party (CNWP) was launched in 2006.
It brings together socialists, community and trade union activists who believe that New Labour today – whether led by Blair or Brown – is an out-and-out party of the billionaires, and want to see the formation of a new mass party of a totally different kind – a party that fights for working-class people – not for the fat cats.
So far more than 45 trade union National Executive Committee members and 2,500 activists have signed up to support the campaign.
The CNWP is holding its second national conference on Saturday 12 May.
The conference will bring socialists and anti-cuts and anti-privatisation campaigners together with trade union activists to discuss the way forward after the local elections.
