The Green Party is at a crossroads – and so are we.
As Greens in Exile, we know better than anyone how much is at stake. Many of us have been silenced, sidelined, or excluded simply for standing by the core values of free speech, ecological justice, women’s rights and genuine democracy.
But now, we have a chance to make our voices heard – loud and clear.
The Choice is Clear
The upcoming leadership election isn’t just about names on a ballot. It’s about the future of the party we love. It’s about restoring integrity, openness, and the radical Green politics that inspired us to join in the first place.
This time, we have a real, urgent choice.
We can elect leaders who will drive the party forward – leaders who believe in democracy, who welcome debate, who are serious about protecting both people and planet.
Or we can let the party fall deeper into the hands of those who clamp down on free speech, shut out members, and have little interest in real environmental action or meaningful inclusiveness.
We’ve already seen where silence leads: suspensions, exclusions, a shrinking space for dissent – and the sidelining of the very people who built this movement.
Your Vote Matters. Your Voice Matters. Your Action Matters.
We’re asking – no, urging – every Green Party member to do three simple but powerful things:
1. Vote in the leadership election.
Don’t sit this one out. Let them know we are still here – and we will be heard. We’ll be updating you soon on who we think will be best to vote for.
2. Forward this message to every Green Party member you know.
Friends, allies, even those who feel disillusioned – reach out.
3. Ask them to forward it too.
Imagine the ripple effect if each of us sparks even a small chain of action. Together, we can remind thousands of Greens that their vote counts – and it’s time to use it.
This is Our Moment
This is our moment to fight for the heart and soul of the party. Let’s not waste it. Let’s turn frustration into action – and silence into a shout.
Vote. Move Forward. Change.
The time is now.
In solidarity,
Greens in Exiles
