There has never been a more important time to get a Green MP from East Anglia!
Join us for a weekend of campaigning with Green Party Co-Leader Adrian Ramsay, who is standing to become the next MP for Waveney Valley.
Our action days are days of fun, excellent company and good food. Full campaign training will be given and there will be plenty of time to socialise, meet Adrian Ramsay and other Greens from across the country. Note that we have a (smaller) action day on Friday 8th March in beautiful Halesworth - let us know if you can make it both days. On Saturday, you can choose between coming to Diss or Stowmarket - both easily reached by trains from London, Norwich and Cambridge.

Stunning election results in the 2023 local elections mean that in the Waveney Valley constituency we now have 12 Green councillors, one more than our main rival the Conservatives. We also have a higher vote share then the Conservatives (43% compared to 34% for the Conservatives). Your help, whether for a full day or just a few hours, will be a major contribution to getting our co-leader elected as the first Green MP in the East.
