  Help us mobilise our members!

  Come and join us for our regular phone-banking session, where we welcome new Hackney Greens members and catch up with existing ones to let them know what's going on in the local party.

  All the training and information you need will be provided – no experience is required. There will also be some free time to chat over pizzas and drinks.

  This really helps us to engage members as a people-powered party, and it's a nice way to catch up with fellow Greens. Please bring a laptop and a phone it you have one.

  If you'd like to participate but can't attend in person, please email Chesca at chesca.walton@hackney.greenparty.org.uk and we'll share the details you need.

• Saturday Action Afternoon

  Saturday, December 02, 2023 at 2:00pm

  

  In the by-election for Hackney Mayor on 9th November Hackney Greens Zoë Garbett came second to Labour and pushed Labour under 50% for the first time since 2006.

  With nearly 25% of the vote, it's clear that Hackney residents want change. We want to thank residents for voting for Zoë and let them know how they can get involved in shaping the opposition to the status quo in the borough.

  We've got two event locations (when you sign up you'll get the exact location):

  Hackney Downs or Dalston (both 2-4:30pm) 

  Join our friendly Green team for the afternoon delivering thank you leaflets which are vital for keeping momentum and getting more Greens elected! 

  If you've been inspired by Zoë's campaign for Mayor of Hackney come along and join us for a friendly, sociable afternoon :)

  Any questions please get in touch with Alice - [email protected]

• POLLING DAY – Elect the first Green Mayor of Hackney

  Thursday, November 09, 2023 at 7:00am

  Hackney (multiple locations)

  On Thursday 9th November Hackney residents will elect a new Mayor, following the previous Labour Mayor's resignation over misleading the public. Councillor Zoë Garbett is running to be the first Green Mayor of Hackney, and our volunteers have been working hard over the past several weeks, speaking to residents and delivering election literature.

  On polling day we need to make sure that thousands Green supporters get out and vote, by knocking on their doors and reminding them to bring voter ID. This is a big operation and we need as many people as possible to help out on the day.

  If you are available at any time between 7am and 9pm, please let us know what hours you can do here: https://forms.gle/sPK6DNmx3qemdHSw8

• Community Listening with Zoë Garbett

  Tuesday, November 07, 2023 at 7:00pm

  Hackney CVS in London, United Kingdom

  

  We are cordially inviting you to a key listening event held by Hackney Green Party, with support from local organisation Coffee Afrik, this coming Tuesday 7 November.

  The aim of the event is for Hackney Green Party members, including me as Green Party candidate for Mayor of Hackney, to listen to the experiences and views of community members and reflect on how we can do more to understand, engage and resonate with Hackney's diverse communities.

  The event will be taking place at Hackney CVS (Dalston Lane) and will run from 7pm – 9pm on Tuesday 7 November. *Correction from previously advertised: Food and hot drinks will be available for a donation to cover costs.*

  The event will be quite informal to provide space to build relationships. We are keen to understand what issues are most important to residents across the borough and ensure that any work we do, and any policies that we put forward, are representative of the needs of all communities in Hackney.
