 Affordable housing – not executive homes in dead zones!
Dear Green Party campaigner This month, we have one urgent call to action, on the government’s hugely destructive Planning & Infrastructure Bill. This is a property developers’ charter that strips away vital protections for the natural world without helping to provide the affordable social housing we so desperately need. But it can still be amended to remove its most damaging aspects – and our Green peers are busy trying to do this right now! Our flatpack campaign gives you tools to bring pressure on your local MP to support positive amendments that are likely to be introduced by the House of Lords. We know that many of you will want to take action to protect the natural world from a Bill that the Wildlife Trusts describe as a “licence to destroy”! In solidarity, Green Party Campaigns Committee

 Campaigns Committee is looking back on a busy year, which has included campaign material for you to use on toxic landfill, the housing crisis and the growth of the racist far right.
Thanks so much to all who have taken part in these campaigns! We have more in the pipeline for the new year, but this month we’re focusing on the terrible situation facing Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. This Christmas, nearly two million people – almost the entire population of Gaza – face the most desperate of circumstances. Refugees crammed into makeshift ‘tent cities’, whose homes and communities have been devastated by over a year of relentless bombing that has killed nearly 45,000 people – the majority of these women and children. Witnessing horror and cruelty on such a massive scale can make us feel powerless to help. But there are things we can do – and Green Party Conference has re-iterated the party’s support for a campaign of boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against the state responsible for this genocidal violence and companies that are facilitating it. You’ll find resources to campaign on this in this month’s campaign flatpack: 10 things you can do about the genocide in Gaza. Our thoughts this Christmas are with these people, and with all the hostages and unjustly imprisoned in both Gaza and Israel. Our hope is that the new year will bring progress towards peace and justice for all those who have suffered so much for so long. In solidarity, Green Party Campaigns Committee PS: One other (easy) thing to do over the Christmas break: The Climate and Nature Bill first introduced by Caroline Lucas will have its crucial second reading in Parliament on Friday 24 January. This Bill would make a huge difference to efforts to address the climate emergency. Please take a moment to write to your MP asking them to support the Bill. Zero Hour have made this easy to do, here. |
