Covid, clean water and anti-fascists

It was great to meet some of you at Green Party Conference in September, and to see our Greens Against Fascism banner unfurled across the front of the conference stage!

This month we’re launching one new campaign on Covid protection and getting ready for the huge national March for Clean Water on Sunday 3rd November. Our anti-fascist beermats are proving very popular. And on Saturday 26th October Stand Up to Racism is organising a big anti-fascist demo in London.

Take action on Covid protection
The Covid-19 Inquiry has been hearing heart-rending testimonies from relatives of Covid victims and the doctors, nurses and social care workers who did their best to help them in almost impossible circumstances. All these people were badly let down by a government that failed to adequately protect them from deadly disease.

But Covid is continuing to infect large numbers of people, often with life-changing impacts. And, as another winter approaches, simple measures that could limit the spread of infection in public places such as hospitals and schools are still not being taken.

In July, the Green Party called for the government to follow expert advice and take immediate steps to mitigate the risk of infection. There’s a lot that individual Greens and local parties can do to make sure this happens –  find out how in our Take Action on Covid Protection flatpack.

March for Clean Water – 3 November
On Sunday 3 November, a massive coalition of NGOs, community groups and River Champions will gather in London to demand tougher action to stop the sewage pollution and agricultural run-off that has blighted over 90% of England’s waterways.

We know many Greens will be there and we want the Green Party’s message to be highly visible: water and sewerage are natural monopolies and should be taken back into public hands so they can be run for the common good, not private profit.

You can download a placard design to print off and find a meeting spot for Greens on the march here.

Our anti-fascist beermats are proving very popular. But we still have some left and can send a pack of a hundred to you for just £12 (including postage). Let us know if you’d like some!

Anti-Facist Demo
On Saturday 26 October Stand Up to Racism is organising a big anti-fascist demo in London. If you’re going, do bring a Greens Against Fascism placard, which you can download to print here.

Yours in solidarity,
