• 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

    Image of around 40 new Green Councillors, the Mayor of Hackney and the Speaker and Deputy Speaker in red robes, on the steps in front of Hackney Town Hall.

    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.

    Building strong Ward Teams

    Transforming election momentum into a community-led movement

    2 months after the Local Election, Ward Organisers and volunteers are asking the question: what next?

    Come along to this forward-looking meeting where we will brainstorm answers to the following questions:

    • What does we need as Ward Organisers to build strong Ward Teams?
    • How do we empower Ward Teams to engage with and be visible in the community?
    • How can we - as Ward Teams - best help our newly elected Councillors?

    This is open to all who were involved in the campaign or want to be more involved going forward - especially Ward Organisers and volunteers - to think about how we build a resilient network of organisers who can engage members and be prepared for future elections.

    If you have any questions please contact Madeleine on 07758577592.

    💚 Hackney Green Party Members Meeting 💚

    Join us for an online meeting open to all members to hear from the Green Group and find out they've been up to so far 

    After the historic win in the local elections, with an incredible 42 councillors elected and a fantastic Green Mayor for Hackney, we are hosting an online event to hear about what's next and an opportunity to ask questions. 

    We will be hearing from our new mayor, and other members of the Green Group on Hackney Council, about what they have been up to and what they have planned.  We will then open the conversation up to questions from members. It should be an inspiring discussion!

    The meeting is online only and at an earlier time than normal (6pm). Please RSVP to receive a link.
