Red Wedge

Red Wedge was a political campaign in the UK during the late 1980s, where a group of musicians and artists collaborated to encourage young people to support the Labour Party. Named after the red wedge shape, symbolizing socialism, it aimed to galvanize youth voting and activism against the Conservative government. The movement used concerts, events, and media to promote social justice, workers’ rights, and progressive change, leveraging the influence of popular cultural figures to engage and inspire political participation among young voters.
