As the next election approaches Greenpeace has teamed up with a coalition of other environmental and development NGOs to organise a political hustings in our local constituency of Hampstead & Kilburn.
The coalition includes Greenpeace, Oxfam, WWF, RSPB, Christian Aid, the World Development Movement, People and Planet, Tearfund the Green Alliance, and a few others
Between us we have 5-15,000 regular supporters in Hampstead & Kilburn which is really interesting as our current MP Glenda Jackson (Hampstead & Highgate) has a majority of 3,742
We think that the next MP (whichever party they belong to) should be made very aware of the number of people in his/her constituency that are worried about climate change. This is an issue that will win, or lose them votes.
We want to ask them the climate question and make sure that the candidates we vote for have very good answers……
The Hampstead & Kilbrun Resilience Hustings will take place on Wednesday 14 April at 7pm, at St Stephens Church, Pond St, Hampstead NW3 2PP. It is organised by Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth, Transition Towns, and the Camden Cycling Campaign.
There will be a screening of the film 'In Transition', and you will have the opportunity to pose your environmental questions to parliamentary candidates Glenda Jackson (Lab), Ed Fordham (LibDem), Chris Philp (Con), and Tamsin Ormond (The Commons).
