John,
This weekend, we've gathered at our Autumn Conference to shape the future of the Green Party. Democracy is not something we 'have', it's something we have to do. An inclusive democratic system empowers everyone to participate. Throughout the next week, we'll be exploring how we can build better, for everyone, together.
For the first time ever, Green Party members who are registered for Conference will be able to vote online on the policy and organisational motions that are so crucial to the development and growth of our Party.
Conference will continue until 11 October, 2020. Don't miss your chance to have a say in shaping our Party's policies. Are you joining us?

So far, we've seen sessions on creating climate justice, slave trade reparations and securing a fair and green economic recovery. Although we can't be together in person, we hope to recreate the experience of being together with hundreds of like-minded people in one room, sharing and debating ideas on how we can build a greener world and equitable society.
Next week, you can tune in for plenaries and fringe sessions on the House of Lords and understanding Islamophobia. Book your spot to check out the rest of the sessions!

As we learned in one of our recent live events, regeneration is any act that creates an environment other beings can thrive in. Want to learn more? In our Green Living Room, we've collected a range of books that explain pathways for building a more regenerative world, films full of vision and advice from other events, and regeneratively produced versions of products that many use every day. It is a collection of people and ideas that aim to provide hope by demonstrating that better is possible, because better is already happening.
We have some reading suggestions for you. The authors of the books we share are exploring how to transform their spheres of influence to build a more regenerative world through community development, leadership skills, small business, or creating an economy that works for people and planet - not the other way around!
Some of the resources are free and some we ask you to purchase. Proceeds of the purchases support Green Party campaigns for a more regenerative world and enable us to provide free opportunities to connect, learn, and debate with one another. Find out more below!
** Proceeds of books purchased on the Green Living Room support the work of the Green Party. |

One theme we discussed in all of our live events this summer is how everything we do is political. Every choice has a political implication, from where we choose to spend our money to how we vote in an election. Whoever you are, whatever matters to you, we encourage you to be that, and be politically active too.
Through the Green Living Room we aim to introduce you to makers who are committed to creating a more inclusive working world, using materials that regenerate our environment, and pricing their creations in a way that reflects the true cost of people's talents and sustainable resources. Like pesticide-free perfume, produced with ingredients which protect the soil, the biosphere, farmers' livelihoods and customers' wellbeing, beer produced from bread that would otherwise go to waste, and clothing designed to build awareness.

Our communities are sources of ideas and action.
In the last few months, we've seen lots of inspiring examples of communities across the UK coming together to solve problems and support ach other in a time of need.
This is the real spirit of democracy.
And we want to see it grow. From designing local transport plans to deciding what kind of businesses a neighbourhood needs, local communities should be given the power and resources they need to respond to local issues, and to determine what their future looks like.

Thank you for your support.
In hope, Green Team 💚 |
