A milestone win for Zane’s Law campaign! Help push for essential Covid protection Support our Climate and Nature Bill 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. Find out how you can help here. 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

 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.  Greens Against Fascism
