- Which role are you applying for?:
- Trans Young Greens Co-Chair
Candidate Statement
Hi, I'm Ava, I'm 15 and I'm a transgender member of the green party. I am applying for this role as I would love to be more politically active in my local community but also in within the wider reach that this party offers. I'm applying for this position specifically because it also offers the opportunity to weigh in on issues that directly affect me.
If successful in standing for this position I would hope to increase awareness and education of trans issues within our party and beyond by reaching out to green candidates at a local government level and incouraging them to support trans inclusion within their communities.
Although I have experienced transphobia as most trans people have, I am very aware that the transphobia I receive is nothing like that received by people of colour. I would like to make sure that trans pocs don't face discrimination within the party and although I plan on researching how to be a better ally to trans pocs I would love to hear first hand what I can do.
I would love the opportunity to represent the community I am a part of and hope that I get the opportunity to prove my worth.
