Elections 2021
On Thursday 6th May, the biggest ever local elections are taking place across the UK.
Depending on where you live, you could be electing your new local councillors, your city’s Mayor, or your representative in the Scottish or Welsh Parliament.
The upcoming elections offer an unmissable opportunity to get local politicians to publicly declare their support for fossil fuel divestment and drive forward local campaigns. We’re asking you to help us get as many candidates as possible to pledge to take action for our planet.
Take action
If you're in England
Around 5,000 councillors will be elected across 145 English local councils, in addition to 13 Metro Mayors in cities across England.
Local councillors sit on local authority pension fund committees, and therefore can have direct power over the fate of your council's pensions. Meanwhile, a city's Mayor won’t have direct power over local authority divestment, but they can be a powerful ally and help to raise the profile of the issue.
We're asking candidates to sign up to the following pledge:
If elected, I pledge to support the council divesting its pension fund from fossil fuels and investing in renewables and the local economy over an appropriate time-scale. I promise to do everything in my power to make sure this happens within the first year of my term in office.
Here's what you can do:
- Find your candidates.
- Contact each of them individually using this template as a basis.
- If they reply to you and agree to take part, please forward the email to us at ukdivest@gmail.com and we'll add them to a public list of pledged candidates.
If you're a candidate:
Please email us directly at ukdivest@gmail.com to register your pledge.
If you're in Scotland
On 6th May, Scotland will be voting to elect all 129 Members of the Scottish Parliament.
We've created a range of resources to help you encourage your soon-to-be MSPs to go fossil free:
- Use our e-action to email all your candidates and ask them to commit to divesting their own pensions, and ensuring all Government investments are fossil free.
- Our campaign briefing can be sent to candidates, political parties or any other interested stakeholders.
- If you're attending a hustings event or speaking to candidates online, we've created a list of questions you can ask.
- Use this guide to help you conduct 1:1 lobbying meetings with candidates, and this handy template letter can be used as a basis for contacting candidates via email.
If you're in Wales
On 6th May, Wales will be electing 60 Members of the Senedd.
Last year, the Senedd committed to divest its pension fund from fossil fuels, and both Plaid Cymru and the Green Party have included a commitment to putting pressure on local authority pension funds in their party manifestos.
However, you can still use the election as an opportunity to speak to the candidates running in your area about applying pressure on local authority funds to divest and to encourage the Wales Pension Partnership to introduce more fossil free reinvestment opportunities.
Please forward candidate responses to us at ukdivest@gmail.com.
