GREENS' EURO ELECTION CAMPAIGN KICKS OFF!
Two of the country's best known green campaigners will help to launch the Green Party's Eastern Region Euro Election campaign in Cambridge on Thursday 23rd April at 7pm outside the Senate House in central Cambridge.
Sir Jonathan Porritt, Chair of the Sustainable Development Commission and Tony Juniper (1), recent Executive Director of Friends of the Earth will be heading up the endorsement of Dr. Rupert Read and the six other candidates on the Green Party's list for the Euro Elections on June 4th.
Rupert Read said
"All the parties seem to be trying to paint themselves with a green gloss, but its a thin veneer to try and cover their unsustainable business-as-usual policies. The Green Party has consistently put forward a vision of a genuinely sustainable future over many decades. It is welcome, and significant, that two of the most respected green spokespersons in the country see in the Greens a party that has both the vision and the policies to deliver a green economy, to actually improve the environment and the quality of life for people."
Tony Juniper added
"I have been heavily involved in putting together the Green New Deal programme. If we are to have a vibrant, fair and environmentally economy to take the country forward we have to have politicians, in Brussels, in Westminster, in local councils who look beyond the next opinion poll, think of more than their own personal prospects and see that public office makes one responsible for the future of our children and our childrens' children. That's why Jonathon and I are here today."
The launch and associated activity starts at 7pm outside the Senate House in central Cambridge on Thursday 23rd April. There will be an important announcement made about the nature of the Green Party's campaign in Eastern Region, at this time.
