Falkirk Greens General Election Fund

Aim

Help Falkirk Greens to campaign for campaign for two Green MPs for Falkirk and Linlithgow and East Falkirk in the December General Election.

The General Election on 12th December 2019 could be the most important Westminster vote for a generation. Scotland is being dragged out of the EU against our will, by a party that we didn't vote for, in the middle of a climate emergency. It's vital that Green voices are heard in the debate, and we have a platform for our bold vision of a radical, Green, Independent Scotland in Europe.

Falkirk Greens have selected two fantastic local candidates, but running for Westminster is expensive. Can you help us raise funds to stand two Scottish Green candidates at the upcoming General Election?

Gillian Mackay has been selected to stand in the Linlithgow and East Falkirk constituency, whilst Tom McLaughlin has been selected to fight for the Falkirk seat. Both candidates are proud to be representing their home constituencies, and understand the massive impact a #GreenNewDeal could have on Falkirk.

At a time when we need to be taking real, urgent action on the Climate Emergency, Westminster politics is tied up in knots over the destructive project of leaving the EU. Green voices are shaking up politics in Holyrood and in councils across Scotland - it's time they were heard in Westminster too.

The Scottish Greens aren't funded by wealthy business people or big trade unions - we rely on our members and supporters making thousands of small donations each year to keep our work going.

Standing for Westminster costs £500 per seat for the deposit. We want to stand in two and need to raise £1,000 for this. If we exceed this, £250 will get us 10,000 campaign leaflets and help us get the Green message to every home in Falkirk, and in Linlithgow and East Falkirk. And just £10 will help us get A-boards outside three polling places on election day.

A Green wave has spread across European politics in 2019 - that wave is growing in Scotland too, and we need to make sure people have the chance to vote for our distinctive Green politics at every single election. Your donations can help achieve just that and get Gillian and Tom on the General Election ballot paper, representing the Scottish Greens - #VoteGreen2019!
