Take action now on the housing crisis with our superpowered ‘Housingometer’

​Dear Green Party campaigner

When people hear about Green policies to address the housing crisis and stop landlords exploiting their tenants, they really like them. So let’s make sure more people know about these!

That’s the idea of this month’s campaign flatpack. It includes an eye-catching ‘Housingometer’ tool you can use to engage the public in conversation on housing and highlight local support for rent controls and other measures. As well as model press releases, council motions and lots more!

Big news on Zane’s Law

This month brings a major development in the campaign for a ‘Zane’s Law’ to make toxic landfill safe – an issue powerfully dramatized by the recent Netflix series Toxic Town.

A parliamentary summit on 11 June, convened by Baroness Natalie Bennett, will bring together campaigners from around the country along with trade unions, scientists and legal experts. Real pressure is mounting for a change in the law – big thanks to all who have taken action using our flatpack from last year!

Very best wishes,
Green Party Campaigns Committee
​
PS: Many Green councillors are picking up casework from tenants facing poor housing conditions and exploitative landlords. If you’re taking action using our housing flatpack, do also use local newspapers, radio and TV and Green Party newsletters to tell these stories and highlight how active we are in helping people facing these issues in our communities!
