The Hackney Green Party welcomes this opportunity for residents and organisations to contribute to the formation of Hackney’s Climate Action Plan. It is great news that the council is taking this issue seriously: it is the biggest and most important challenge of our age.

Hackney Green Party Councillors Issue Statement in Support of Strike Action: “There are no services without people.”

This week, workers on the UK’s railways are taking industrial action to demand a decent pay rise, job security, and no compulsory redundancies.

Today, Hackney Green Councillors have expressed their “total support” for this action.

Green Party Dalston Ward Councillor; Zoë Garbett 

I condemn the action taken by the police in Dalston yesterday (14 May).

I was present from 18:45 where I spoke with riders, the union supporting riders (Independent Workers of Great Britain, IWGB), the police and members of the community/protesters.

We are really excited to announce that Zoë Garbett and Alastair Binnie-Lubbock have been elected as Councillors for Dalston and Hackney Downs respectively. Zoë also finished in a strong second place for Mayor, up 6.5% on the last Mayoral election.

We are super proud this week to release our Manifesto for the Local Councillor and Hackney Mayor elections on the 5th May 2022.

It has been developed from conversations with residents and from proposals put forward by local community groups. We have listened to and respected residents as experts in their lives and communities.

Hackney Green Party are once again standing candidates for all 57 seats on Hackney Council. With more candidates than the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats combined, Greens are the real opposition to the Labour-dominated Council.

Statement by the Officers and Core Team of Hackney Green Party

We will continue to make our local party a safe and welcoming place for everyone, including trans and non-binary people. All forms of bigotry, including transphobia, are counter to Green values – whether expressed outright, through dog-whistles, or under the guise of “debate” and “reasonable concerns”.

Statement from Zoë Garbett, Green Party candidate for Mayor of Hackney, on recent police drug swabbing in Shoreditch:

Hackney Green Party have announced their candidates for the four by-elections taking place on 6th May 2021, profiles below.

It is essential that the majority Labour council in Hackney gets held to account with a real and active opposition. Vote Green if you want green.
