Marley King
I have decided to stand as a constituency candidate as I have a real passion for community engagement, something I believe is essential in the role of a candidate. I have lived in London all my life and understand the issues residents are facing in their day to day life.I have excellent links with local community groups and am fighting constantly to ensure that underrepresented people’s voices are heard. I want to highlight green issues and show voters the advantages of having elected Greens.I am aware that in the past the party has struggled to connect with diverse communities. A key part of my campaign strategy is to connect and improve our interactions with people who are not traditionally identified as a core green voter.Within the national party, I hold several diversity and organisational roles which has allowed me to gain experience interacting with people from all kinds of backgrounds,During the past year under my role as London BME officer I have created excellent links with local parties. I have supported many parties during by-elections, I have been involved in supporting parties to increase capacity and to become more diverse and welcoming partied.Outside of politics I help run a free community café where I connect with forgotten members of our society. I offer housing, asylum and benefit advice to those in need. I am also a mental health first aider. I have previously worked for the nhs as a social prescriber.I am a mother to two young children who have various and complex special needs, so have become an expert in special educational needs. I held the position as special needs governor for many years.I have recently become interested in environmental visual art and had my art trail mentioned in the Metro newspaper.
