- Which role are you applying for?:
- Young Greens Women Co-Chair
Candidate Statement
As Co-Chair of Young Greens Women, I will stand up for all women in the Young Greens. This means campaigning with trans women, women of colour, and other women marginalised by society. The Young Greens must be a safe space for everyone, so I will fight to make sure this is the case. While I am only 16, I have the organisation, communication and time-management skills necessary for the role. I will ensure the views and opinions of all Young Greens women are heard, and that as a group we are listened to.
Furthermore, I have experience on the executive committee of a district-level youth forum. Within this role, I’ve led campaigns empowering young people in my local area. These have promoted the issues important to young people in the community and ensured they were taken seriously. This has led to a successful social media project to support young people who may be struggling with the mental toll of lockdown and promote physical and mental wellness. Currently, we are leading on an environmental campaign to highlight the importance of a green recovery post-COVID-19.
Additionally, I will communicate with the Executive Committee and the Structures and Procedures Committee to help real change happen at all levels of the Young Greens. For while strides are being made to eradicate sexism, we still often face discrimination in the forms of transphobia, racism and ableism. Therefore I will also use my position as co-chair to communicate with the other liberation groups, and ensure that any issues faced by these groups are issues discussed within the Young Greens women committee.
I am running for Co-Chair of Young Greens Women because I believe we can make real change happen.
