Have you ever thought about joining the Labor party but haven't known how?

There are many people who are active in their local community who also participate in the Labor Party. Usually people are involved because they want to campaign for Labor and also have their say on the development of policy.

If you would like information about joining Labor and getting involved with local Labor campaigning please email Alistair.
