Calling all environmental feminists! The Green Party is electing a new Deputy Leader & eight positions on the Executive Committee (GPEx). There are gender critical candidates for most posts, including Shahrar Ali for Deputy.
Voting will be throughout August.
If you join the party (for as little as £6.00) before 31st July, you will get a vote.

We have the chance to turn the party around - back to reality, common sense, environmental justice and for women's sex-based rights. Do join us!

Also, Green Party members and non-members can sign up to receive emails from Green Feminists. Just email [email protected]

That's the whole point of voting for GC candidates!

To get rid of the authoritarianism and batshittery.

Quite. I am assuming the Greens have been so captured that gatekeeping who gets to vote would be high on their list of priorities.

Wont there be some kind of Mccarthyite screening process where you have to sign a pledge along the lines of "I am now, and have always been, a believer in batshit mental notions of reality"?

I left the Labour Party because the leadership didn't know what a woman is and joined the Green Party last summer purely to vote for Shahrah Ali in the leadership election.

I was tempted to leave when he wasn't elected but am so glad that I stayed.

My local party has been very friendly and welcoming. They are old school environmental activists who keep out of the political infighting that has beset the national party.

Thanks to the wonders of zoom and WhatsApp, I have got to know many Green Party members who defend Women's sex based rights and whi are fighting to bring the party back to reality.

So relieved to see a good selection of candidates who care about women's rights.
Eg Shahrar Ali for deputy, Alison Teal and Tina Rothery standing to be Co chairs of GPEX. All support eg liking tweets very welcome.
