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.
Our regular monthly Policy and Ideas meetings are an opportunity for members to contribute to and discuss local party strategy and to understand and inform policies.
Each month we will select two or three topics to give each one enough space to have a detailed discussion and to make real progress.
This month we have two topics:
- The Wardle Street Project
We are pleased to welcome Nemone Mercer from Core ARTS to talk about their plans to green up Wardle Street below our community roof garden and transform Homerton Grove with a meadow strip and orchard.
- Living with Learning Difficulties
A discussion with Patricia Charlesworth about the experience of people with learning difficulties particularly during the pandemic, and how the Green Party can be more inclusive
Join us to campaign for a greener, healthier London! We'll be delivering Sian Berry's London Green News to residents on Sunday afternoon from 1:30pm.
To keep our community safe, we will be following covid-19 guidelines by staying outside and meeting at a distance.
Every volunteer makes a huge difference to achieving green councillors in Hackney - can you help?
