James Seabridge
Labour candidate for Brixton North
Active on State
I’m standing to be a local councillor and I’m proud to call Brixton his home - I’m deeply invested in helping the area reach its potential. I moved to Brixton for work during the pandemic and I now manage a climate policy advocacy organisation, working to deliver a fair transition to net zero. I grew up in a deprived part of the country, experiencing poverty and insecure housing, which drives my commitment to tackling inequality and the housing crisis. I am committed to standing up for local communities and advocating for a fairer, more equal society.
