We did it! Together, over the last two years, we built a grassroots campaign that got a Green MP elected. Together, we made history in the East of England, and showed that the Green Party can win in rural as well as urban seats.

This warrants a celebration!

Join us at the John Peel centre on Sunday 4th August, 2pm-6pm to celebrate our General Election victory and all the work that went into it.

There will be some drinks and nibbles provided, and the bar will be staffed throughout the event. If you would like to contribute a dish, please get in touch with us on ellisif.wasmuth@greenparty.org.uk.

A big thank you for all your help on the campaign.

We can't wait to see you on the 4th August.
