- +My name is Pearson (they/them), and I am a 22-year-old green from Winnipeg, Manitoba, on Treaty 1
- +Territory - the stolen lands of the Anishinaabe, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dené and the national
- +homeland of the Red River Métis.
- +
- +Over the past 5 years, I've worked in a wide variety of roles in the Provincial and Federal Greens,
- +in that time witnessing both the excitement and power of organized and collaborative teams to
- +achieve great things as well as the frustration, disappointment, and conflict that befalls
- +disorganised and poorly-led teams.
- +
- +Even working on the Young Greens Council this past year and a half as Manitoba Representative and
- +Governance Chair I've seen both - I'm proud to have worked towards successes like sending two young
- +greens to Korea last year for the Global Greens Congress, Organizing our first ever YGC General
- +Meeting, and passing meaningful changes to our structure that will enable more young green
- +participation and power in the GPC - But I also watched over the past few months as a lack of
- +communication and cooperation saw participation drop, work fizzle out, councillors resign, and
- +council meetings all but stop.
- +
- +I am ready for the work to restart and I am excited to lead it. I have extensive experience
- +rebuilding struggling organizations to become more organized, collaborative, communicative,
- +effective, enjoyable, and safe for all members. I encourage you to read my CV available from the
- +link in my candidate profile or send me an email for more information :)

- +Experience and Skills
- +---------------------
- +
- +I have served in a wide variety of roles that have prepared me for this role.
- +
- +Most notably, I was the first Youth Representative on the Green Party of Manitoba's Executive
- +Council, where I worked tirelessly to make the GPM one of the first parties in Canada to offer free
- +youth membership, which saw us increase youth participation in the party more than 30 times. From
- +there, I worked for a year to meet with youth from across Manitoba to design the Manitoba Young
- +Greens from scratch as a fully youth-led unit of the GPM with the power to make its own decisions on
- +policy, publicity, and budget.
- +
- +I later was called upon to serve as President of the GPM, becoming the youngest and first non-binary
- +person to hold that role in a Manitoba Political party. Working with low council participation, poor
- +member interest, and donor drop-off amidst the global pandemic, I pushed to modernize, digitize, and
- +organize our council's work, update our branding, and organize the party's first leadership contest
- +in more than a decade, receiving strong press coverage and member participation in the process.
- +
- +I also believe I have valuable intersecting lived experiences to bring to this role - as a queer and
- +gender-diverse person, as a chronically ill person, as a neurodivergent person - I have seen time
- +and time again (including in this party) how spaces either draw in or drive out diverse young
- +participants, and I know I can work to improve that in the GPC.
