Candidate Statement
My name is Dan Taylor and I am standing to become a member of the Young Greens Democracy and Accountability Committee (DAC) because I believe democracy is key to environmental and social justice.
I have been a Green Party voter since I became old enough to vote, and a member for several years, however I wish to become a more active member of the party. In recent years increasing numbers of young people have risen up to demand change, and as the Young Greens we have a vital role to play in providing a voice for a better future, in a transparent and inclusive manner.
I currently help to manage the social media channels for my regional party, and have really enjoyed being part of a like-minded team of Greens, as well as contributing to promoting the great work our local Greens do. I have a postgraduate degree in Environment, Development and Politics, within which I studied democracy and authoritarianism, and this is knowledge which I would be really excited to bring to the DAC.
If elected, I would strive to:
Build on the fantastic work of the existing DAC to consolidate our democratic processes, ensuring they are transparent and inclusive at all stages, acting to implement changes on behalf of those who voted at convention.
Bring knowledge from my postgraduate degree to challenge existing practices, ensuring our elected members are upholding the constitution and are fully accountable.
Actively promote the work of the DAC, by championing what we do and how we go about it, encouraging wider engagement with our democratic processes from the vibrant Young Green community.
I am really excited by this opportunity and would be delighted to work for you, the Young Greens, to ensure our fight for social and environmental justice continues to be built upon democratic and fully accountable foundations.
Dan Taylor
