AWP’s 2019 General Election Manifesto will be released shortly.

Please visit our Vision section to see previous manifestos.

We continue to fundraise at the link below so that we may produce enough election leaflets for every home in each of the constituencies being contested and, should we meet this goal, we aim to then produce additional posters and banners – to really help us get the message out.
