Candidate Statement
Hello! I'm Emily, (she/her). I'm currently living in Plymouth after graduating from a Marine Biology and Oceanography course here, however I was most active as a Green Party Member and volunteer in my year-out before uni at my hometown in Suffolk; where I organised and hosted our first Green Fair with my local green party team, and ran as a paper candidate in 2015.
My experience in activism is quite broad, ranging from hosting social media pages posting for awareness and outreach; organising meetings, regional events, and protests; to attending and running workshops on campaigning, intersectionality, and specific campaigns surrounding climate and social justice issues. (As well as some good old fashioned community volunteering and tree planting!)
A lot of this work has been done as a student with help from the incredible team at People & Planet (P&P), where I leaned most about what it means to be an intersectional activist, and have just finished my student trustee term for the last two years.
I think I would be good for the role of Co-chair as I have experience leading teams and delegating tasks and working with people across the network as Campaign-Coordinator for my University's People & Planet group, and as a Regional Organiser for the South West and Wales.
If unsuccessful for the position of Co-chair, I would be suitable for N.P.O using my experience as Secretary for my university's People & Planet group, hosting my local Green Party Facebook page in 2014-15 and my university's P&P socials from 2016-19, and having run and attended various green-minded events and campaigns over the last 7 years before and during university.
