A Milestone win for Zane’s Law campaign
It’s been another busy month for Campaigns Committee, supporting the March for Clean Water and a big Stand Up to Racism rally in London, and celebrating another milestone win in the campaign for Zane’s Law.

The London Assembly passed a unanimous motion, brought by Green Assembly Member Zack Polanski. This requires the Mayor to call on the Prime Minister to bring forward new legislation addressing the rising risk of leakage from toxic waste dumps. The Zane's Law campaign is now supported by many major unions and by the TUC.

Help push for essential Covid protection
Despite government silence on the subject, Covid hospital admissions are still rising! Our campaign flatpack gives you resources to push for essential public health measures.

Former Health Secretary Matt Hancock has again been giving evidence to the Covid-19 Inquiry. He revealed, among other things, that Boris Johnson’s Cabinet had refused to accept that Covid could be asymptomatic –  well after this was known to scientists. 
This failure to follow the science led to many avoidable infections and deaths. Yet even now, with the NHS once more under severe stress, the government is failing to take simple measures to protect people from the risk of Covid and Long Covid.

Help push for the essential public Covid health measures that the Green Party is calling for, at local and national level.

Support our Climate and Nature Bill
The Climate and Nature Bill originally introduced by Caroline Lucas will be back in Parliament in January. Our four brilliant Green MPs will of course be backing it, but we want to see as much cross-party support as possible to help turn this potentially game-changing bill into law.

Please write to your MP to ask them to back the bill. It just takes a moment – Zero Hour has made it super-easy for you to do.

In solidarity,
Green Party Campaigns Committee
