This is it.
Our country is crying out for leadership, and it’s an immense privilege to be writing to you as the new leader of the Green Party of England and Wales.
While we celebrate this moment, I’m aware of how much work there is ahead of us, for me, and our entire Party. With Reform on the rise, our country is on a dangerous precipice, but we know we have the solutions to the crises we’re facing. Together, we can rise to this moment.
For the last 3 years, as Deputy Leader, I have travelled across England & Wales campaigning alongside our talented and dedicated members. I will continue to do so as our next leader, and I look forward to getting more Greens elected. Together, we are working to lower people’s bills, take back control of our water, and make childcare free for every family.
But our movement needs you. Our Party is at record membership, but we need to build a mass movement if we’re to take the fight to Reform. If you’re not yet a Member of the Green Party, join us today.
I’ve talked a lot about bold leadership. And I intend to demonstrate it. But leadership isn’t just one person – it’s our whole party, leading the way to a better future. This is our collective moment, and we want you alongside us.
Together, we can prove that bold, compassionate leadership isn’t just possible – it’s unstoppable.
In solidarity,
Zack
