Help the Women's Equality Party to elect our first Borough Councillor, and to deliver grassroots feminist change across the country.
The Women's Equality Party's candidates are the only people campaigning to deliver feminist policies and make meaningful change happen in their local areas. Your support is vital and means they are able to print and deliver leaflets, be provided with childcare and ultimately reach many more voters.
Since the inception of the Women’s Equality Party, our movement has lifted up women from across the country. Women who’ve never thought about being involved with politics before, let alone becoming a candidate, representing a political party or even becoming a councillor.
Over the years our councillors and candidates have had an enormously positive impact in their communities. By protecting local services, developing cross community approaches to end violence and working across party lines to make our communities better for everyone.
Things really can get better, and it will start with grassroots feminist change in our communities.
So we’re asking people like you, who stand for equality and who’ve consistently helped us to lift women in our movement, to fund the future of the Women’s Equality Party and support brilliant women to deliver feminist change in their communities.
Help Stacy Hart win in Hatch Warren & Beggarwood!
At the last set of elections Stacy was one of those brilliant women! She came within 76 votes of beating the Conservative councillor.
Stacy is our best chance to not only become the first ever Women's Equality Party Borough councillor, but is also the only candidate who can beat the Conservatives in her area.
She has already changed the local licensing policy so that bars and clubs have to take active steps to prevent sexual harassment, forced the council to assess the impact of its climate action plan on women, fought the Government’s rollback of plans to build a local hospital and made recommendations to the House of Lords to ensure girls have equal access to sports.
We urgently need your help to support her - and all our other amazing candidates.
Equality can win this May
Every seat we contest gives us a chance to change the narrative and influence policy.
Time and again, other parties have reacted to our campaigns by including more women candidates, placing gender equality on their agenda, and adopting our policies.
In 2021, WE contested the North Yorkshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner by-election and won a huge 10% of the votes when we had never contested the seat before. But more importantly, in just four short weeks we forced every single candidate in that race to make ending violence against women and girls their priority. We set the standard for positive action with our radical policies and we reached three quarters of a million people.
Across Yorkshire, in the areas where we ran a full campaign, our candidate finished in the top three. This tells us that if we have the right resources and support, we have the potential to run powerful campaigns that win seats. You can help us achieve this again in the elections in May.
Cllr Kay Wesley - a story of our impact
Kay, our first ever councillor has now served Congleton constituency for over five years. She is now joined by Susan Mead. Together they have achieved so much for their community.
Imagine the impact if every council in the country had a feminist representative like Kay. That future is not so far away, with your support.
The legal bit...
As we're a political party we're required to run permissibility checks on donations over £50. These will be completed as you make your donation and therefore we can't accept anonymous donations.
If you give over £50 your details will appear in our election returns, and if you donate over £500 your name will appear on the Electoral Commission website.
