• Our Candidates

      We are proud of the diversity and strength of our slate of candidates; each brings unique lived experience and perspective to the table: from single parents and migrants, to young people and people who access health and care services. Councils must reflect their community, and we have worked hard to build a team of councillors who are your neighbours, who know and live your struggle, and who will work for the better Hackney we all want to see.

      Meet the Candidates

Hackney Greens are a friendly group of Hackney residents who work together to represent the Green agenda in Hackney. We are an entirely voluntary organisation with no full time staff. The more of us who get involved, the more we can do – everyone is welcome to help us campaign for a fairer, sustainable society.

    Hackney Green Party statement on the death of Henry Novak and in support of Hackney’s Sikh community at this time

    Hackney Green Party shares in the sorrow of family, friends and the nation at the death of Henry Nowak. This unnecessary loss is utterly tragic, and to be at the same time the centre of such publicity and politicisation must be crowding in on what should be a private moment of grief.  That someone’s son’s dying moments helpless in police custody are on public video is heart-wrenching to us. It goes beyond race, religion and politics. It must surely touch the humanity in us all. We bear witness to the bravery of the Nowak family in stepping forward and speaking up against division and hatred.

  • Hackney Greens win Hackney Mayor & council

    Hackney Green Party made history on the 8th of May 2026 as Zoë Garbett was elected as the UK's first directly elected Green Mayor. The win in Hackney was followed shortly by the election of a Green council and another directly elected Green Mayor in Lewisham as well as Greens taking other councils across London.

    Mayor Zoë Garbett got to work right away, appointing her cabinet and launching a "Who Owns Hackney?" initiative.

    Extraordinary General Meeting re constitution

    Tuesday, October 13, 2026 at 07:00 PM · 31 rsvps
    Dalston Gardens Community Hall in London, United Kingdom

    This event is open to members of the Hackney Green Party only.

    We invite members to an Extraordinary General Meeting to approve a new constitution. 

    A lot has changed since our current constitution was adopted in June 2022. Back then Hackney Greens had just celebrated electing our first two councillors. Today, we’re proud to have 42 Green councillors, a Green Mayor and a membership that has grown fivefold. As our movement grows, it’s important that the way we organise and govern ourselves grows with it.

    Over the summer, the Executive Committee has been looking carefully at how we can make Hackney Green Party ready for the opportunities and challenges ahead. The proposed new constitution is designed to support the next stage of our journey and give us a strong foundation for the future.

    Before the meeting, members will receive an email with:

    • -    The motion to adopt the new constitution
    • -       A summary of the key changes
    • -       A copy of the current constitution
    • -       A copy of the proposed new constitution.

    All of this information will give you plenty of opportunity to review the proposals before we meet.

    At the EGM, we’ll give a short presentation outlining the proposed changes, followed by time for questions and answers. We’ll also open up a conversation about the future structure and roles that form the Executive Committee.

     

    The EGM is an important step towards our Annual General Meeting, currently planned for Sunday 29th November (subject to confirmation). The AGM will be an opportunity to look back on everything we’ve achieve over the past year, elect officers for the coming year, and discuss our vision for what comes next for Green politics in Hackney.  

    We hope you’ll join us and be part of this exciting new chapter for Hackney Greens.

    We look forward to seeing you there.

    Hazel, Liberty and George,

    Party Co-Co-ordinators.

    Accessibility: The venue is accessible. If you’re unable to attend in person, we’re planning for the meeting to held in a hybrid format and will share Zoom details in reminder messages nearer the time.
