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.

  • Leon Alleyne-McLaughlin (Chair) - Young Fabians Safeguarding Officer, Former Young Fabians Secretary, and Founder and First Chair of the Young Fabians BAME Advocacy Group.
  • Nicki Adeleke - Young Fabians Women's Officer, Former Vice Chair of the Young Fabians Health Network.
