A Manifesto for LGBT+ Educators

In my next 2 final years as NEU LGBT+ Executive member, I will:

  • Continue to build transformative engagement of LGBT+ members in branches, districts, conferences and elected roles - especially workplace reps 

  • Unite LGBT+ members in a shared vision of equality that takes an intersectional approach - boosting and platforming the voices of marginalised and under-represented groups.

  • Continued collaboration with all those who face oppression  to shape the direction and integrity of our work - placing our NEU Guidance at the vanguard of good practice. 

  • Continue using the power and influence of the elected role to help and support LGBT+ members facing discrimination. 

  • Fully support the leadership and members of the union in publicly fighting and challenging the growing threat of far and alt-right narratives in government, the media, workplaces and schools. 

  • To ensure LGBT+ voices are a vital and necessary component of a wider socialist movement bringing social justice and transformative change.

“I’m proudly endorsing Kacey to be re-elected as NEU LGBT + Executive Seat Holder because she is a strong voice for all LGBT + members at the NEU Executive level and all the other spaces she occupies in her role. Her remarkable leadership had a huge impact on my role as the Black Executive Seat holder.”
