Green Party Women's Declaration

GCs in the Green Party have got a 2 pronged fight back at the moment.
One is the Green Women's Declaration which was launched yesterday.

The other is being led by Green Party Women. The current committee has a GC majority and is under constant scrutiny from TRAs with vexatious complaints being put in against them and even calls for the group to be disbanded.

They recently held hustings for some internal elections and half of the candidates announced on Twitter that they were not going to attend because it was an unsafe space.
That's because 2 of the question were going to be about women's sex based rights.

A week later, Green Party Women held an EGM. They had well over a hundred members joining in (zoom meeting) including one of the co-leaders who had to listen to dozens of GCs reading statements about how they had been discriminated against and giving ideas about what GPW could do about this.

Over 350 signatures added so far.

Bumping this because it’s important it’s as widely publicised as possible.

Thank you Eresh!

Twitter link if anyone would like to help get it moving there.

And absolutely delighted to see some names/voices there from the Scottish Green Party, in the comments. Thank you for speaking up.

Good to see over 300 signatories added in the first day.

Heh - I'm a regular here who used this username some time ago and thinking of coming back to it, usually every time I see the fox killer mentioned... If I use it a lot I'm sure you'll figure out which unkind viper I am...

great to see this here - I am a founding signatory.

Her case is much less well known and the allotment could really do with some help if anyone can, or at least share it.

Shared on social media.

If the wider membership were aware of what has been going on I think they'd be shocked.

People within a party are often cautious about sharing bad behaviour to avoid damaging the cause.

Her case is much less well known and the allotment could really do with some help if anyone can, or at least share it.

What happened to Dawn is especially horrific. She raised key questions about challenor and was utterly hauled over coals.

Signed. I am a former member.

What happened to Dawn Furness seems particularly shocking.

Signed. Am not a member of the Green Party.

Another major step forward in the Green politics and laying the ground for the upcoming storm.

The clock is ticking for sexists in the Greens. The Green party of England and Wales are facing three court cases over their sexist attitudes and ongoing discrimination against people who accept biology. Shahrar Ali's case comes up first only two weeks away, on 21-25 August 2023.

These cases should be a huge game changer for Gender crits in the UK and the cases look very strong. Remember this is coming up in the run up to the next UK General election in 2024 all these cases are going to get a tonne of publicity. If we break the sexists in one party then their lies collapse in all. It will expose the sexist nonsense which lies behind the hatred of gender critical thinking in our professional classes.

Gardening is needed.

After Shahrar Ali's comes Emma Bateman’s, then Dawn Furness.

Success in these cases will continue the fight back against institutional sexism in the Greens and across the UK.

More details in this thread.

Shahrar Ali was the first prominent person to from an ethnic minority to gain a position of power as Deputy Leader inside the UK Greens. He has come under sustained attack for knowing human biology and lost a position as spokesperson for the party.

Emma Bateman, former prominent figure in the Green party, elected co-chair of Green Party woman group three time. She was expelled from the Green Party of England and Wales (GPEW) in January 2023 after being accused of a host of misdemeanours stemming from refusing to pretend that people can change sex.

Dawn Furness's case is particularly damning as she was targeted not just for being gender critical but because she challenged the Greens failure to safeguard over the Challenor child abuse cover up inside the party and was physically assaulted.

The Declaration lays the ground for retaking the party once all the lies are exposed. This will be happening in every party.

It is for members, ex members, and supporters. So if you broadly support the Green Party but want it to sort out the mess its in over women's rights sign.

It's a relief to see this declaration, it's wonderful to see women fighting back and standing up for their rights against the bullying of gender ideologists. The green party has been very badly affected and those fighting back have been subject to abuse, complaints, suspensions. But it's not stopped them....
Please consider signing, even if you can't or don't want to, if on twitter you can still show support and offer encouragement. Everything helps. 👍

I just have to say that is the best username I've seen in ages.

I'm proud to be one of the original 150 signatories.
GPW are fab!

Thanks Arabella, I must have missed this last year (latest signatures seem to be a year ago). Let’s hope all these declarations have a positive impact as my greatest fear is a LibLab coalition where Labour throw us under the bus as a sop to the Libs (not that I’m convinced yet that they wouldn’t do that anyway).

It's generally considered that the Scottish Greens are way past the point of any deviation from the party's extremist position, I'm afraid.

Andy Wightman and Robin Harper have both gone - I don't know of anyone else in the party with even slightly more moderate views.

It would be good to be proved wrong!

This page has links to all the parties' women's declarations, I think.
