• 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.

    Mayor Zoë Garbett got to work right away, appointing her cabinet and launching a "Who Owns Hackney?" initiative.
