Purpose:

The purpose of Chingford and Woodford Green Community Independents is to mobilise support across the two boroughs to fight for our common, progressive goals through public campaigning and through standing for elected positions. We are committed to grass-roots democracy and developing policy through practical engagements with our local communities. While we are focused on the local, many of the issues that we are addressing will require regional, national or international solutions. We are committed to working alongside people and organisations who share our progressive goals across the country.

Values:

We seek to transform Britain through the redistribution of wealth and power to create a genuinely democratic and equal society that responds to the needs and wishes of local communities for future generations and the environment. Truly democratic policy making must ensure that all can contribute equally to developing our agendas. We oppose all forms of racism and discrimination. We are committed to treating each other with respect and ensuring that all feel free to contribute to discussions and debate, and we expect all members to work together to ensure that this happens in practice.
