National Council Meets
The Labor Party’s Interim National Council

Council thanked Kit Costello for her hard work as LP co-chair.
(Costello recently stepped down from the presidency of CNA.) The
INC elected two new co-chairs. Current LP co-chairs are (from

Velasquez, Bill Kane of the New Jersey Industrial Union Council,
and Barbara Walden of Bakery Workers Local 19.

Kensington Welfare Rights Union, an LP affiliate, demanded
economic human rights for all. Marchers ended their journey on
Nov. 1 with a rally at the UN.
