Samuel Aurelius

Green Party candidate for Borough & Bankside

Green Party

I have lived in Borough my whole life and I grew up seeing suffering around me I find unacceptable like homelessness right next to skyscrapers that are held up as signs of progress or how it is now normal for secondary schools to collect food for food-banks. How have we let things fall this far? I have spent my whole life driven by a desire to improve the world and wish to leave it better than I found it. Having the honour of representing Borough & Bankside would allow me to pursue this goal of helping people and making hope normal again.
