Jim joined the socialist movement in the 1970s, and has been deeply involved in Socialist Alliance since its founding in 2001. As a public servant, he was also a union delegate with the Community and Public Sector Union until his retirement. 

Currently, he is involved in the Palestinian solidarity campaign, as well as other international solidarity movements, especially with Latin America.

"I believe that today, more than ever, we need a strong socialist movement, to combine with the fight for climate justice and against the corporate system, to achieve genuine social and environmental justice for all."
