As you remake New York into a better home for all those forgotten by the politics of our city, a place where working people and immigrants truly feel the power that belongs in their hands, remember this: Arts and culture are the very vehicles through which we express the power to shape our destinies. We must ensure that every member of our communities can actively participate in artistic and cultural creation and access affordable, local arts programs.

The Green Party of England and Wales is riding high, with membership almost doubling over the past half year and the party gaining in the opinion polls. It is a similar story for Reform UK. The "bold politics" of the Green Party's leader, Zack Polanski, are in part intended to counter Reform. Support for both parties is defined by cultural issues. In the case of Reform, by the culture war around immigration and national identity; in the case of the Green Party by the wider picture of the linked issues of social justice and climate change.
