Join us for our monthly pub & politics! We'll be talking about phone banking, kitchen table meetings and the GLA.

RSVP to get the details for the Zoom invitation.  

The London elections are a key campaign for the Women's Equality Party and we're fighting to win an important seat on the London Assembly - the elected body which holds the Mayor of London to account - as well as running for Mayor ourselves. Our voice and our message have never been more crucial: as we begin to recover from COVID and from Brexit we must ensure that we Build Back Equal. COVID was the great revealer of inequality in our society and it is vital that women and minoritised groups are not forgotten in the recovery period.

At this phonebank you will be calling Lambeth supporters who, like you, want to shake up politics and make change happen and voters to persuade them to vote for us. By giving your time, you'll be able to make a massive difference to our campaign by canvassing voters and asking volunteers like you to sign up to get involved in the campaign. 

Things you need to know: 

☕ Make sure you have tea and snacks on hand as calling is thirsty work!

📱 Bring your phone - only if you have enough minutes and are happy to do so. We’ll help you turn caller ID off so your number won’t be shared. If you have any questions about this please get in touch on the email below.

😰 If you have never done a phonebank before, or feel nervous about calling strangers, be reassured that we will provide full training at the start and call scripts, and answer all your questions before you start calling.

💻 You'll need your computer/device so we can connect to each other on zoom for the training and to get support as we go along. Staff and senior volunteers will be there to help and support.

🎉 There's a lot to celebrate! Fundraising and voter targets, best calls and most successful - although we can't all get together this will be a social event where you can connect with other volunteers.

It's cocktail hour at Sophie's Saloon!

Join us as we celebrate International Women's Day and raise a cocktail to celebrate each other and all the incredible women out there!

This event will take place on Zoom, we will send you a list of cocktail ingredients ahead of the event (one alcoholic and one non-alcoholic), and we ask that you consider making a donation to the Women's Equality Party to invest in equality and help us raise our election fighting fund so we can win the first Women’s Equality Party seat in London!

Please RSVP and tick the box for emails so that we can send you the details!

Do join us for our friendly Barnet branch meeting on Sunday 7th March 19:00 - 20:30.

Please RSVP to get the zoom meeting details. 

Stay Safe & Keep Well

Jeanie Lynch of Exeter CoLab will be joining our virtual social club this month. Jeanie runs the 'Resilient Women' programme which works with women who are either/or living on the streets/functionally homeless and in or on the margins of the criminal justice system.

Once we've heard from Jeanie and had a chance to discuss their topic, we'll have time for a casual chat with other members and supporters of the Exeter branch. It can range from challenges with COVID to what you're read or watched lately, or who your feminist hero of the month is. 

Join our virtual social club on Wednesday 10 March at 6pm. RSVP below to save your free place.

WE are selecting candidates for the Lothian (including Edinburgh) and Glasgow regional lists!

Our local elections will be very different this year. This online meeting is for any member or supporter of WE Exeter who would like to help with our campaign. We don't expect to be walking the hills of the city as we've done in previous years, but we are planning to stand in more wards across Devon. 

Please RSVP for the meeting so we can send you the link and know to expect you. It also means if we need to move the meeting we know who to contact.

We’re super keen to meet all our wonderful members and supporters. Next Saturday 13 March we’ll be holding an informal branch meeting.

This will be an opportunity to get to know who we are, what we’re up to, and most importantly, what our plans are for the GLA elections. Come with a cuppa and any questions!
