We need your help so that the Green Party can make the responsible case for the UK remaining a constructive part of a Greener Europe, and to help us elect more great Green Councillors across the South West, like those featured in this short film. Please donate what you can. Any surplus funds raised by this Crowdfunder and not used for the GreenerIn referendum campaign will be split between the South West's 2017 County Council campaigns, 2019 European Parliamentary election campaign fund and Green Party South West's day-to-day budget for supporting Green Party activity in the South West. Since we filmed at the end of April, we have increased the Green District Councillors in Stroud from 6 to 8, but the Green Party representation on Bristol City Council fell from 14 to 11 after May 5th’s all-out elections. This is even more reason for us to run strong campaigns across the South West in the run up to 2017’s County Council elections. Help us make the case for the environment and social justice in the EU referendum —a case that the corporate-funded campaigns will ignore:
