John,
Are you ready for the local elections? On Thursday 5 May, the Green Party is fighting to win seats in over 100 of 169 councils that have elections, including in all London boroughs and all local authorities in Wales. This is important, because these areas won't have elections again until 2026 and 2027. We need to get more Greens elected because we can't afford to wait to tackle the cost of living crisis and climate emergency. Scroll for more 🔽 |

The Guardian visited Burnley Green Party to look at how they have gone from strength to strength in recent years - showing how local Green Parties are consistently growing support by working hard all year around. How can you help us in this last stretch of the campaign so we can reach as many potential voters as possible?
