🚨 The General Election has now been called.
In just a few weeks, voters in Sittingbourne and Sheppey will make their voices heard at the ballot box. We need your help to get the Green message out.
Let's go ✊
The Green Party are DIFFERENT
Unlike other parties, we aren't funded by big business and vested interests. We are powered by people like you.
This means that we are independent and free to stand up for what is right, not what private donors want us to say.
But it also means that we rely on the people who agree with our vision for the future to support us when they can. This means YOU!
Every pound you can spare now will help us to reach more people with our vision of hope and change through leafletting, canvassing, social media adverts and events.
Every candidate and every vote COUNTS!
Standing General Election candidates and running campaigns also helps us generate Short Money – the financial assistance every opposition party receives to help fund parliamentary business. This is worth around £1 per vote to the Green Party – no matter which constituency that vote came from.
Running effective campaigns and gathering more votes doesn't just demonstrate our growing strength; it's a strategic move that could fund our mission over the entire parliamentary term.
Sam Banks is the BEST CANDIDATE for this area
Sam Banks is a teacher and a parent and lives on the Isle of Sheppey; she is passionate about her community and wants to bring real change to improve the lives of residents. Sam understand the challenges and unique aspects of living on Sheppey and that only real change can provide for our children’s futures, this is why she is standing for the Green Party in this election.
Sam says "We need significant social change to create a more equal society. As a teacher, Sam is passionate about education reform and creating opportunities for people of all ages to access learning.
It is imperative that we move towards a sustainable society where everyone’s needs are fully met. By improving people’s quality of life, reducing financial stress and reforming education and childcare, we pave the way for environmental change where people are engaged in creating a better world for future generations, and are empowered to live sustainably, rather than essentially.
As a nation, we need to:
- Protect the environment locally and globally;
- Protect the NHS and reform social care;
- Provide Greener, affordable public transport that serves all our rural communities;
- Provide truly affordable housing, including social rented and affordable homes;
- Reduce poverty levels drastically.
I feel very proud to be standing for election as your member of parliament and will do everything I can to support my community if elected".
Greens are WINNING!
We have seen an almost five-fold increase in Green councillors over the last few local elections.
Just a few weeks ago people across Maidstone made their voices heard - electing their first Green-led Borough council government.
We will see a continuation of this trend at the General Election but ONLY if we have the support to run great campaigns.
THANK YOU!
P.S. Because we're a political party we're required to run electoral register checks from people making donations above £500, and if you donate over £1,500 during a year, we are required to let the Electoral Commission know, who will make this available on their website.
