Across the country Greens are more popular than they have ever been. In Oxford we have a track record of successful councilliers and strong candidates meaning we have a real opportunity to increase our Green voice. However, with Covid we have been restricted in campaigning we need your help to make up ground. This action day will be a chance to do that with some canvassing, door knocking and leaflet delivery. It is a real chance to reach voters, inform them about the election and offer support with coping with the pandemic. We will meet in groups outside from 11am and continue till 5pm. This action day will be following Covid safety guidance, thus we will ask you to bring masks and hand sanitiser. If you have any questions about the steps we are taking to ensure Covid safe delivery then please get in touch. Please RSVP below and you will receive an email with more details |
