"It is with great sadness that I tender my resignation to the Green Party. I have been a member since 2015 and a councillor since May 2019 in Washington/ Sunderland, a role which I will also be giving up. During that time it has been a privilege to represent the Green Party, especially the last 2 years when we have achieved so much. In Washington, we have campaigned and succeeded in protecting the Washington South football pitches from housing development, we have played a big part in stopping the incinerator that was planned in Washington, and have helped pressure the Council to adopt, and act upon, a Climate Emergency plan. More recently, we introduced a motion on Fair Tax which the council adopted in part. We have also assisted the Council's chief exec and Public Health team in communicating their message and information during this public health emergency.
I was on the FB thread after he posted his resignation. So many people saying how much they'll miss him and what a great person he is. There was only one dissenting voice, accusing him of misgendering Bristow. Kudos to him for pointing out that Bristow is male and was referred to as such. I feel so sad for the majority of the Green Party members who are decent people and truly believe in what they're doing. They really can't afford to lose people like Dom. What a bloody mess.
I gave up on the Greens after the 'non-men' debacle and things seem to have gone from bad to worse since then. Not sure how you can fight for the environment and deny basic biology at the same time.
Wow that is a powerful resignation letter! Graham I just wanted to respond to what you were asking on this evenings mess we're in about somehow coordinating a mass gender critical coming out. I love this idea, but I do think we need to time it very carefully. I'm hoping with all I've got that Maya and Allison win their cases because this would set a legal precedent and the floodgates opening would allow women to be openly gender critical without fear of being fired. I'm a social worker and need to be very careful for fear of my registration being questioned. I would dearly love to connect with other social workers who are on here!
The Green Party in Ireland is on the same path. So regrettable. After yesterday’s double gold from FairPlay and Graham and Helen (amazing) today we’ve had everything from the Hate Crime in Scotland, women (not violent men) being advised to stay at home and a male on the Women’s Prize for Fiction shortlist. I guess the fight must continue.
I've just joined. I'm staggered at the misogyny, have we gone back to the dark ages? This abuse of women and children will be seen as a very dark period in our history. Women fought so long for safe space, its a delusion if they think we'll give it up without a fight, and as for this child abuse, words fail, but almost more scary is the shut down of free speech and the expression of any dissenting voice. I have huge admiration for Graham and all those standing against this woke vitriol.
"The LGBTIQ+ group declared that there was no historical evidence that women had been oppressed on the basis of their sex. Women are oppressed because they ‘look like women.’ To say otherwise was declared oppressive to trans people, a hate motion, which deserved to be righteously overcome." Un-fucking-believable.
I am in e-mail contact with Caroline Lucas about the Civitas report of Dec 2020 about censorship in Universities. I forwarded the resignation letter to her. Not doubt others have also done so.

So many of us leaving the Green Party over the last year or two since they were taken over by the Trans DICKtators.

Great hard hitting resignation that will have zero impact on the willfully blind.

It breaks my heart how transactivism is tearing all left-leaning parties apart.
