London Working Men's Association

The London Working Men’s Association, founded in 1836, was a group established by skilled craftsmen and workers advocating for political reform, better working conditions, and expanded voting rights for the working class. It aimed to organize workers, promote education, and push for reforms such as universal male suffrage. The association played a key role in early democratic movements in Britain and influenced the development of Chartism, a broader movement seeking political and social equality. Overall, it was an important collective effort by workers to improve their social and political standing during the 19th century.
