We campaign for
Human Rights & Justice
A right which belongs to every person.We will continue to raise awareness about social injustices, push for reforms, and mobilise communities to establish a unified platform for justice and human rights for all.
Stronger NHS & Public Services
The NHS and public services play a vital role in safeguarding the well-being and welfare of individuals and families. We aim to raise awareness, advocate for necessary reforms and investments, and foster collaboration to strengthen these critical pillars of society.
Tackling Crime
Crime affects everyone, from individuals and families to businesses and communities. By working together and advocating to implement effective strategies, we can create safer and more secure environments for everyone to thrive in.
Cost of Living
The cost of living encompasses various expenses necessary for a decent standard of living, including housing, food, healthcare, education, transportation, and more. We intend to educate, empower, and support communities in managing their finances effectively and improving overall financial well-being.
Democracy & Community
Democracy thrives when communities are informed, engaged, and empowered to contribute to decision-making processes that impact their lives. Our goal is to foster a culture of democracy, strengthen community bonds, and promote collaboration for a more inclusive and vibrant society.
Environment
Our planet faces numerous environmental challenges, from climate change and pollution to biodiversity loss and deforestation. It is crucial for us as individuals, communities, and our governments worldwide to come together, raise environmental awareness and advocate for meaningful steps towards a sustainable future.
Grassroots Mobilisation
We want to build a grassroots political campaign to fight for Members of Parliament across Redbridge.
We will work to bring about positive change and we want the community to join us.
- Uphold international law
- Protect human rights
- Deliver humanitarian aid
- Promote sustainable development
- Maintain international peace & security
We exist because:
- Our local and national representatives have failed to represent us.
- The issues that concern our community including Palestine, the NHS, the cost of living crisis and public services have been ignored.
- Our vote is being taken for granted. Our vote should be earned.
We aim to:
- Challenge Wes Streeting’s Ilford North seat and beat him at the next election.
- To help and assist an independent candidate who is strong on Palestine, NHS, racism, islamophobia and the cost of living crisis.
- Increase voter engagement by getting as many people as possible to vote.
- Galvanise and mobilise the whole Ilford North community to create greater community cohesion.
We will achieve our objectives by
- Galvanising the community with a volunteer-based campaign behind the issues that matter.
- Leading a data-centred, social-media led, agile campaign to mobilise the community and their vote.
- Create a campaign centred around the dissatisfaction that most people feel around all the established parties.
