Dawn Butler MP has built her career on challenging inequality and speaking truth to power. The daughter of Windrush-generation parents and a former trade union activist, she has become a trailblazer in Westminster:
- The first Black woman to speak as a minister at the despatch box
- A champion of British Sign Language recognition
- Member of the Speaker’s AI Steering Group
- A bold critic of dishonesty in politics and discriminatory policing
Now, as the first Black woman on the Commons Panel of Chairs and a likely contender for Labour’s nomination for Mayor of London, Dawn shares the lessons she has learned about creating change, building community, and leading with courage.
This event is organised in partnership between Chamber UK, UKAI, and the 1987 Committee as well as media partner Politics UK.
