Green votes count

​Campaigns you can use in the next week and afterwards.

​Campaign Committee members have been super-busy in recent weeks helping with the Green Party’s national election campaign, one of us (the brilliant Ria Patel) as a parliamentary candidate.

It’s great to see how many of the issues we’ve worked on recently also feature in the Green Party manifesto, including: 

• Water and sewage
• Rent control and affordable housing
• Fair pay for NHS staff and an end to the privatisation of health services
• Clean air as a basic human right
• Access to the countryside and the Right to Roam
• Defending the right to protest

Feel free to draw on any or all of these in your own campaigning, both during the election and after.

The Green Party’s bold, clear policies on these and other issues have been met with a huge groundswell of support and it now looks very possible that we’ll have at least four new Green MPs on 5 July!

Having a strong group of Green MPs at Westminster, speaking up for climate, environment and social justice, will make a huge difference.

But aside from those four constituencies, a big Green vote across the UK helps put pressure on other parties to do better on these crucially important issues.

Whatever the outcome of the election, we’ll be resuming non-electoral campaigning for the Green Party as soon as the dust has settled. Member or not, we hope you'll join us.

Fingers crossed for 4 July!
