LGBTIQA+ Greens Pledge

The Green Party is electing members of the Green Party Executive. The deadline to vote is 31/08/2021. Make sure your voice is heard.

We asked candidates standing in the upcoming internal elections to back our set of 8 LGBTIQA+ pledges.

Candidates were given you the option of supporting or saying they don't support each pledge.

It is so important to boldly stand together as the Green Party behind LGBTIQA+ rights.
