Today is the first of a new four-part London Election series of the Guild's Stronger Together podcast featuring Maher Anjum from the Oitij-jo Collective. Together with the new Trades Guild CLT Director Len Maloney and EETG Director Krissie Nicolson, they talk about voter registration and how voting relates to our Manifesto for the New Economy! Hear more about how we build our people power to support a healthier and more inclusive democracy. This first episode in our new special London Election series is just half an hour so you can tune in while you go for a walk, travel to work or do the dishes!
