Has endorsed the campaign

Zionism is not racism. I call on the Green Party to reverse its "Zionism is Racism" motion.

In their own words:

The way the Jewish community is being made to feel in this country is wholly unacceptable. The Britain I was born in and grew up in is a welcoming society. The current sectarian politics promoted by the Green Party is incredibly sad to see. Shameful!

They have put their name to it, so there is no need to email them asking. Ask the other councillors on Chelmsford City Council instead.
