 Dear Green campaigner
As large areas of California went up in flames last week and Donald Trump prepared to put his foot down hard on the fossil fuel accelerator, Elon Musk was busy fanning the flames of far-right extremism in the UK. Sometimes, it’s hard to find much to be happy about as a new year begins. But positive action is the best antidote to despair. And we have a few suggestions for things that you can do right now that could make a positive difference! The first and most urgent is to ask your MP to support the second reading of the Climate and Nature Bill on 24 January. Zero Hour have made it easy for you to do this here. Please do also take a moment to sign Chris Packham’s parliamentary petition to ban fossil fuel advertising and sponsorship. This is also Green Party policy, and there are other ways you can bring pressure to bring about this change in our popular Don’t Sell Climate Hell flatpack. Finally, with hospitals across the country declaring critical incidents as the pressure from Covid and flu cases mounts, do have a look at our flatpack campaign with ideas on how you can help highlight the Green Party’s sensible, science-based policies on protecting the public from Covid and Long Covid. As Rebecca Solnit has written: “Hope is not a lottery ticket you can sit on the sofa and clutch, feeling lucky. It’s an axe you break down doors with in an emergency.” Yours in hope, Green Party Campaigns Committee. PS: Green Party Deputy Leader Zack Polanski will be speaking at the big Stand Up to Racism protest against the rise of the far right in London on Saturday 1 February . If you're going to this, do bring a Greens Against Fascism placard, which you can download and print off here.
