Naomi Wimborne-Idrissi is a founding member of Jewish Voice for Labour and vice-chair of Chingford and Woodford Green Labour Party constituency. Jewish Voice's mission is to make the Labor more ethnically inclusive and to serve as a voice against all forms of racism and opposes the wrongs and injustices against Palestinians and other oppressed peoples. Naomi was also an elected member of the UK Labour Party's National Executive Committee (NEC) as part of the pro-Jeremy Corbyn contingent.  However, she was expelled from the Committee in late 2022 due to her outspoken criticisms of antisemitic elements in the Labor Party.  Jewish Voices also challenges that Zionist view that conflates all Jews as being Zionists. There was a video released with Naomi about a week ago that went viral on the internet, titled "the Wrong Kind of Jew" -- Jews who do not support the ideology of Zionism and side with the International Court of Justice's ruling of Israel committing humanitarian crimes against the Palestinians in Gaza.
