• 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.
