Dear Jeremy and Zarah

We, the undersigned, have registered for the new party initiative that you have jointly announced, which already has more than 800,000 supporters.

We were especially inspired by your statement that this will be a "new type of political party" that "belongs" to its members, who will "decide the party's direction, the model of leadership, and the policies that are needed to transform society."

We believe this means the work must start now to build strong local branches in every town and city to discuss the party's mission, share ideas on its structure, and consider its policies and campaigning priorities.

These branches could play a decisive role in organising an effective founding conference based on delegates from across the country.

So that the work can begin promptly, we ask the central team to help those organising local meetings, by forwarding email invitations to our local supporters.

Once local groups have established formal structures, all necessary steps should be taken to give them full access to local membership data.

We invite the current data holders to action this request without delay, so that momentum is maintained and the most democratic and engaging conference launch can take place in the autumn.
