Join the Young Fabians BAME Advocacy Group for our first event back in-person! Chaired by our founder and inaugural Chair, Leon Alleyne-McLaughlin, this event will explore the microaggressions faced by young black activists on the left. Our panellists will discuss how casual insults, assumptions and gaslighting affect young black people’s ability to get involved and stay involved in party political activities.
