A Rainbow Policy Tool for this Year's Election, with Jess and Noor from Rainbow Election 2020; September 9, 2020 (Part II)

Last week Bronwyn spoke to Jess and Noor from Rainbow Election 2020 about their  LGBTQI+ policy tool for this year’s election. The tool was created in collaboration with 13 rainbow organisations and aims to inform the voting public as well as educate policymakers on how they can protect the rainbow community. It highlights 15 rainbow policy areas, split into 4 categories; Health, Education, Community and Legal. Part I talks about rainbow voter disenfranchisement and lack of engagement by political parties in rainbow policies. In Part II, Jess and Noor give some examples of the types of policies that fall under those categories. 

Since last week's episode, the Labour Party has stepped up to indicate its support for 11 of the 15 policies. You can have a read of the policies yourself on their website or on social media. Their launch event is happening on the 17th of September with guest speaker MP Chloe Swarbrick.
