Equality Party Election Fighting Fund
United Kingdom
Aim
Our Vision is for a more inclusive, equitable society with diverse voices in decision-making at all levels.
We aim to unite people from diverse backgrounds to fight for equal rights and opportunities, so that everyone can contribute and thrive. We are a feminist party that believes women’s equality benefits everyone, as government and other systems that impact our lives are designed to favour a small, privileged elite – a patriarchy.
We seek to transform patriarchal structures to create fairness and opportunity for all, leading to gender, race, disability, age, LGBTQIA+ and religious equality. We are a fully inclusive party, and we believe everyone has the right to define their own gender and pronouns.
We view the global climate emergency and destruction of the natural environment as consequences of patriarchy. A more equal world is also a more sustainable and just world for people and for Nature.
Our Objectives
We want to create a society where equality leads to better politics, a thriving economy, equity of opportunity and a more harmonious community. We recognise this needs systemic and transformative change, looking at how society works and who it works for, and how politics operates. We plan to achieve this change by gaining awareness, support, votes, and elected representatives to bring about:
- Equal representation across politics, industry, public and working life
- Equal pay and opportunity, and equality in education and childcare
- A sustainable economic model that priorities the wellbeing of people and planet
- Public services such as healthcare, social care and justice, that work for all, without discrimination
- Media, arts and education that delivers fair and inclusive human stories
- An end to gender-based and hate-motivated violence and abuse
Our Strategy
The Equality Party supports elections at all levels of government by;
- Supporting election campaigns of candidates who wish to be elected as Equality Party representatives
- Forming alliances with organisations campaigning for participatory democracy and proportional representation
- Being visible in local grassroots movements that share our objectives
The Equality Party aims to provide a framework to support grassroots activism and the election of members to every level of government, ranging from parish councils, to town, city, district and county councils and to assemblies in regions and parliaments across the UK.
Toolkit – practical support for members
The Equality Party operates in a federated way, with a local approach, fostering peer-to-peer support for each other and sharing best practices and assets.
Any member of our party can stand for election (or co-option in some cases), provided they agree with the values and objectives of the party and meet our standards of conduct.
We also encourage members to become involved in governance of key institutions and organisations where they can promote an equality agenda and make change happen. These include feminist lobby groups like Elect Her, chambers of commerce, local enterprise partnerships, governing bodies of schools, boards of trustees and specific groups driving change such as Doughnut Economics, childcare campaigns, disability advocates, VAWG organisations, etc.
