Let us know how you can best help on election day, 2 May 2019. Tasks include:

1. Reminding people to vote:
   • Knocking on the doors of people who said they will vote Green (“knocking up”).
   • Telephoning people who said they would vote green.
2. Helping in a committee room.
3. Giving lifts to voters with mobility difficulties who are otherwise unable to travel their polling station
4. Taking voter numbers at polling stations (“telling”)—many voters don’t make up their minds until they are in the polling booth. A Green rosette and a welcoming face can help persuade them. Key times include 7am-9.30am, and 5pm-8pm.
5. Tallying the votes at the count, so we know where in the county there are more Green voters.

Please tick the ways you can help below, and where you can help, as there are elections in 4 councils this year.

Ian Middleton (Kidlington East Ward) needs your help to get elected as a Green Councillor next May.

Help us hold your local Council to account

Oxfordshire Green Party is running campaigns to fight homelessness, save local community facilities, tackle air pollution, ban single-use plastics and generally improve the quality of your local council services by getting more Green councillors elected. Our Green councillors have already got local councils to divest from fossil fuels, improve cycling facilities and require 50% social housing in new developments.

We don't have much money, but we do have thousands of members and supporters in Oxfordshire. Will you join us to help make a difference in your local area? Please sign up below to volunteer in any way you can. 

We are campaigning all year round on local issues and to get more Green councillors elected. If you have just a few hours to spare please do phone Kate Robinson on 07582 903996 to find how you can help, at a time that suits you.

THANK YOU

You can help us campaign to win in Oxfordshire by telephoning people. We need people to:

• Invite supporters who have offered to help to come to action days.
• Talk to new members to find out what they would like to do.
• Call voters in places we cannot reach, such as rural villages and blocks of flats, to find out whether they might vote green.
• Ask for regular donations so we can build the party and extend our campaigns.

If you would like to help, even if only for 30 min. each week, please fill in this form to join our virtual call centre.

Not sure what you can do? This FAQ gives an introduction into some of the less obvious ways you can help.

• How can I send out email blasts?
• Mobile phone surveys (door knocking)
• Phone banks
• Printing leaflets

Would you like to help welcome newly-joined members into your area? Not everyone feels confident enough to immediately come to a big meeting or join in a campaign team. So we are looking for members who can talk to them about local issues and the things we are doing as a party.

If you are willing to be a local link person who will make that extra bit of effort to get to know new local members, please let me know and I will ensure you are provided with details of people who join in your area. In cities this area might be a few streets, in the countryside a village. I will divide up the areas once all the volunteers have signed up. Let me know which area you would like to handle.

How you welcome new members and supporters is up to you. Below are some suggestions. Tick the ones that you think might work in your area. Some are more suited to a rural village, other in towns. Or you may have better ideas.
