Ken Livingstone is gaining momentum as London enters its last week of campaigning ahead of next Thursday’s Mayoral election. Ken has set out a serious stall for leading London. The election is neck and neck, and Ken needs the help of all trade unionists in order to win. You can help in two ways:
- If you live in London, please join in one of many campaign activities that have been organised. Visit Ken’s website and sign up for an hour or two of campaigning now: www.kenlivingstone.com/events
- The large-scale campaigning ahead of polling day means Ken and the London Labour team need the resources to get out the vote. Any donation you can make will help the campaign get all the resources they need. Visit www.kenlivingstone.com/donate
Ken has been a friend to London’s trade unions – focusing on building affordable homes, investing in public transport and supporting the London Living Wage. In stark contrast, Boris Johnson would scrap the 50% affordable housing target and was opposed to the National Minimum Wage.
Ken can win this election and keep London on the right track – but he needs your help.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
www.kenrocks.org is the new website for trade unionists that are supporting Ken in the upcoming London Mayoral Elections.
You can also join our Ken Rocks! Facebook Group http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=10726252521. Let your friends know about it, we need to remind everyone to get out and vote for Ken.
