Candidate Statement
It’s essential that everyone in the Young Greens feels able to contribute, comment and get involved. Working on the Structures and Procedures Committee would be a great opportunity to help support a transparent and accessible constitution, and ensure members are comfortable raising issues. I’m keen to make sure everything runs smoothly, so the Young Greens can have the biggest impact possible.
Previously, I’ve been involved in a variety of projects with a background in organisation and democratic procedures. I served as Secretary and later Executive Officer of my Student Union’s Global Justice Campaign, allowing me to promote environmental and social issues and reinforce constitutional pathways. Working on the general committee of Oxford Student Minds, a student mental health charity, also highlighted how crucial it is that all individuals feel comfortable contacting and discussing queries with the SPC, and that it remains an easy and open process.
I believe that we constantly need to re-evaluate whether our community is providing enough space and support to traditionally marginalised communities, and working on the SPC would allow me to ensure that they are being heard and their concerns highlighted. I’d also like the opportunity to assist elected members, and to make sure they are held accountable in following democratic procedures. This year, I have taken time out to work with an initiative promoting green economic growth before starting my Masters in Environmental Technology. This has cemented how firmly I believe we need to push for systemic environmental and social change by engaging with our political system. I’m fully committed to greening our society and I believe the Young Greens represent the best way forwards.
