Following the events of this year’s annual Green Party conference, we at the St Helens Green Party would like to weigh in on the motion and make our stance completely transparent.
We at the St Helens Green Party have long been committed to advocating for the safety and freedom of all. We will continue to stand up for human rights, welcome every part of our community, and continue to choose principles over political convenience. Healthy politics allows space for differing views, but listening to debate cannot mean staying silent on systemic oppression. After reviewing this statement, we consider our beliefs align with the Jewish Declaration on Antisemitism (JDA). We vehemently oppose antisemitism, Islamophobia, and all forms of discrimination completely. Our opposition to Zionism stems directly from our desire for safety, equality, and freedom for everyone.
To every resident of St Helens, we say to you as the St Helens Green Party: you are valued, you are welcome and you are safe in our community. This includes everyone, of any faith or none. We vow to make St Helens a fairer, safer and more inclusive place for everyone.
