Candidate Statements:

"I am writing to express my unwavering support for the British Arab community and to emphasize the importance of your political representation in the upcoming general election. The current political climate, particularly considering recent events in Gaza, has left many feeling disillusioned and uncertain. As a candidate who has made the decision to transition from the Labour Party to the Green Party, I want to explain my reasons and reaffirm my commitment to the principles that matter most to you.

My decision to move to the Green Party stems from a deep conviction that the values of peace, justice, and environmental sustainability must guide our political actions. The ongoing crisis in Gaza has highlighted, more than ever, the need for a political approach that prioritizes human rights, equitable foreign policy, and compassionate governance. The Green Party offers a vision that aligns more closely with these values, advocating for a more balanced and humane approach to international relations and domestic policy.

The British Arab community is a vital and dynamic part of our society, contributing immensely to the cultural, economic, and social fabric of the UK.

Your voices deserve to be heard, your concerns addressed, and your rights protected. I am committed to ensuring that your perspectives are not only considered but are integral to our political discourse.

In this election, it is crucial that we choose representatives who understand the complexities and nuances of international issues, who are willing to stand up for justice, and who are committed to building a society where everyone can thrive regardless of their background. I pledge to be that representative for you, to champion your causes, and to work tirelessly to foster a more inclusive and equitable political environment.

I encourage all British Arabs to participate actively in this election, to make your voices heard, and to vote for the values that you believe in.

Together, we can build a future that respects diversity, upholds justice, and ensures that every community, including the British Arab community, has a seat at the table.

Thank you for your continued engagement and support. I look forward to working with you to create a better and fairer society for all." Mona Adam, Green Party

What we asked:

"Given current events in the Middle East, in particular reference to Palestine, the general election is a sensitive period for British Arab voters, many of whom remain undecided whom to vote for on July the 4th with traditional party loyalties largely shifting.  As a parliamentary candidate who has a large contingent of British Arab voters in your prospective constituency we would like to ask if you would issue a statement in support of the British Arab community in the UK and their importance of their political representation in the upcoming general election and wider political life."
