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.

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 us at 7:30pm to hear how YOU can make a REAL difference to Hackney!
What it is like to be a Green Party councillor, changing lives for the better?

In 2022, Hackney and other London boroughs will get their chance to refresh their council and vote for Greens to represent them.
If you have ever considered standing as a councillor please sign up below to hear from previous candidates who know what it's like!
We have a range of speakers lined up who will talk about their experience, the day-to-day reality of campaigning and any golden tips.
We will also be hearing from current Green Party councillor Rosi Sexton about the huge difference a green in the room can make!
There will also be lots of time for Q&A, so please get your questions ready!
Please note: this is an online event so RSVP is essential to get your link to the session
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 are discussing two important topics
Electoral Reform - Putting together a campaign for a better voting system
Waste, Recycling and the Circular Economy - Formulating our policy for Hackney
It will be a lively and friendly discussion, open to all members, so please join us by using the RSVP link below.
