Respect is standing as the Left List in two wards in Manchester - Sue McPherson in Gorton South and Nahella Ashraf in Rusholme. Following a successful campaign launch with a People before Profit public meeting, the candidates have invitations to speak at a number of meetings on issues ranging from community activism to stock transfer.

Nahella has also been involved in organising a visit of Palestinian Women to Manchester. Both wards, including 6 mosques, have been leafleted twice and canvassing is revealing strong support for the Left List in the area.
