My name is Aled Dilwyn Fisher and I’m 21 years old. I am currently General Secretary of the LSE Students’ Union (SU) and an activist in the Islington Green Party.

Since the Iraq War motivated me to participate in radical politics, I have been a member of the Green Party. I am an anti-capitalist Green and a member of Green Left, a socialist group within the Green Party. I was the Green Party’s London Assembly Candidate in the North-East London Constituency in the 2008 London Elections, polling 25,845 votes or 13% of the vote (the highest Green constituency vote in London).

I came to London to study International Relations and History at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in 2005 and have been active in the student movement ever since. I am a member of the Steering Committee of Education Not for Sale (ENS), a radical, anti-capitalist student network working both inside and outside of the National Union of Students (NUS). Previously, I had been LSE SU Environment and Ethics Officer and an NUS Delegate (2006-8), and a member of the Young Greens National Committee (2004-8).

My main interests include the student movement, workers’ rights, social justice, climate change, the union movement, nuclear disarmament, opposing airport expansion, the peace and anti-war movement, education and international solidarity.

Originally from Cardiff in Wales, I now live in Finsbury Park, London. My interests outside of politics include music and football.
