Hackney Greens are a friendly group of Hackney residents who work together to represent the green agenda in Hackney, fighting for local issues that affect the people of Hackney. We are an entirely voluntary organisation with no full time staff, the more of us that get involved, the more we can do, everyone is welcome to help us campaign for a fairer, sustainable society.
We have grown increasingly concerned with the situation regarding Sistah Space and the proposed relocation to their previous address in Clapton.
Today with the Hackney Women’s Equality Party and Hackney Liberal Democrats we have sent a joint letter to Mayor Philip Glanville seeking assurances that arrangements are in place to ensure we avoid the loss of this essential service for African and Caribbean women suffering from domestic abuse across Hackney and London and asking the following:
We have repeatedly been told that we are asking too much too quickly to tackle the Climate Crisis, that drastic change is not possible, that we cannot so easily change human behaviour.
Join our action day at 10:30am Saturday!
With the Mayor of London election on the horizon, we know that leafleting is one of the best ways to build support for our Candidates and win green votes in Hackney.
Leaflet delivery is simple, enjoyable and all instructions and directions will be provided.
To keep our community safe, we will be following Tier 2 guidance by staying outdoors in groups of no more than 6. Please bring your face mask and hand sanitiser.
This November we'll be discussing (with guest appearance from the author!) C. Lou Hamilton's book: Veganism, Sex and Politics.
Veganism is so much more than what we eat. It’s about striving to live an ethical life in a profoundly unethical world. Is being vegan difficult or is it now easier than ever? What does veganism have to do with wider struggles for social justice – feminism, LGBTQ+ politics, anti-racism, environmentalism?
C. Lou Hamilton’s compulsively readable book dives deep into the heart of these questions. Veganism, Sex and Politics explores the potential dangers and irresistible pleasures of living a vegan life.
Join us for a relaxed discussion on themes brought up in the book.
