Candidate Statement
The Green Party. The movement of equality and Hope. The Young Greens are proudly diverse and Forward-thinking.
We are the Party of the future so need to make sure we are doing everything we can to promote the representation of minorities. This is what I will do. I will work with all liberation groups to make sure all voices are heard and that our proud movement is accessible to everyone.
Dear Trans community,
I wanted to take a moment to talk directly to you. I have to say I am not satisfied with many actions within the Green Party when it comes to representing the Trans community. So I will make this pledge, I will continue to take on those who are failing you - I will stand up for all Young Green trans members and make your voice heard. I will not be afraid to say how it is when we fail. Change is possible and the fight is long but I will never give up and in me, you will always have a voice. Kieran
Dear the BAME community
I am a white man so my whole life has been seen through white privilege and while I haven't gone through many experiences you will have faced, I can say this. In me, you will always have someone ready to listen and work with you to support the BLM movement or any anti-racism movement. You will always find me ready to learn and listen to the experiences you have faced. If you are ever unhappy with anything happening in the Young Greens I will be there ready to challenge it. I will not stop till every voice is represented. I want to learn and change things. Kieran.
Dear the LGBT+ community
Our community is proud and being the voice of us in the young Greens would be an honour. I see the homophobia we face daily. It's in the comments I get in the street when holding my partner's hand or the dirty looks I get for simply being me. While the fight in society is still being fought, I want the Young Greens to be a safe space for all. I want to work together with you to make this happen. We can be the demonstration of what we want society to be like. Open, Tolerant, and proud
See you at pride 💚
Dear those who have disabilities
The young Greens must be accessible to all, and this is what I will make sure we are. If elected I will listen and make the Yong Greens a place where everyone is enabled to do what they want. Your voice is so important to the Future of the Greens and I will make sure you are at the heart of what I do. It's time we looked at everyone's abilities and used them to bring us closer to power.
If you want a proud voice.
Vote Kieran Dams.
