Welcome from BAME Labour Chair
Ahmad Shahzad

Hello, BAME Labour seeks to empower ethnic minority members within the Labour Party and campaigns for greater representation of ethnic minority communities in public life. Through encouraging increased participation in the political process BAME Labour empowers its members to campaign for a fairer, more equal and democratic society. The society is a democratically constituted membership organisation. It is affiliated to the Labour Party but is politically and organisationally independent. BAME Labour works closely with the Labour Party because of our shared values of equality, tolerance and opportunity for all. BAME Labour congratulates the Labour government for all that it has done to improve the quality of life for Britain’s ethnic minority communities but continues to campaign for further equality. Our main aim is to work towards increasing the number of black and Asian and other minority Members of Parliament and other elected bodies. I urge all ethnic minorities to join BAME Labour and to work together towards enhancing equality in our party and to make our group stronger to achieve our goals. Yours faithfully Ahmad Shahzad
