- LGBTIQA+ Young Greens Co-Chair
Candidate Statement
My past year as Co-Chair has been a year of rebuilding. I have successfully rebuilt our online presence with LGBTIQA+ Young Greens Twitter account sitting at just over 300 followers. I have built connections with LGBTIQA+ Greens, as well as introducing a vital emergency motion to the last convention calling on the entirety of the Young Greens to defend trans healthcare which was passed. During this coming convention I will introduce 8 motions to ensure that the Young Greens is one of the most inclusive spaces and for it to continue being a safe space for all members of the LGBTIQA+ community.
If re-elected I hope to continue this growth and rebuilding, by expanding our online presence potentially to new platforms, in addition to expanding our "in person" presence now that lockdowns are easing and we return to a new normal. To continue with a gowth agenda I will work to build connections with other liberation groups within the Young Greens as well as groups in the wider Green Party. My focus is to make sure the Young Greens remain as a beacon of LGBTIQA+ inclusion within politics and that we as a party push back on transphobic and homophobic attacks on vital LGBTIQA+ organisations.
