deeper inequality for a generation unless

FRINGE:
How Bristol Greens Won BIG in May
Bristol Greens made historic gains, doubling our
seats for a party record-high 24 councillors, topping
the polls city-wide and making national headlines.
Plus, for the first time in the party’s history, a Green
candidate for Mayor contested the election run-off,
narrowly missing out. Our Metro Mayor and PCC
results broke records too. Focused, committed, longterm organising was key across so many campaigns.
We’ll share how Bristol Greens achieved this, including
stepping up Target-to-Win campaigning, crosscampaign decision-making, media and more. Plus
- get the inside track on our exciting plans to win
control of the Council, and elect our next Green MP.

current systems.
