Candidate Statement
Hi, I’m Emily and for this past year I’ve been the social media officer of Young Green Womxn. With the help of the team, I’ve set up new Twitter and Instagram accounts as well as building an interactive relationship with our community. Through my role alongside Rosi Sexton as joint Secretary of Green Party Women, and as a member of Bristol Green Party, I’ve helped to form connections across the party, as well as running a collaborative event with GPW for International Women’s Day.
Outside of the Green Party, my work with XR Youth involves not only protesting on the streets but logistics, speaking and regenerative pastoral care, and this experience has given me a new perspective on activism and organisation. Additionally, this summer I’ll be starting work experience with the magazine Green World, writing about the Party and sustainable current affairs.
Please elect me to:
- Provide training for young women in politics, such as increasing self-confidence in public speaking
- Further strengthen our connections with the other Young Greens Liberation Groups and run a series of events for an Intersectionality Month
- Encourage a regenerative culture in the Party and the Young Greens that looks after activists' wellbeing, due to the high stress nature of activism and eco-anxiety
I would really appreciate this opportunity to continue the work that Young Green Womxn have done this year and to uplift young people in the party. Thank you.
