Hackney has the second-worst rate of child poverty in London - 45%!

Diane Abbott voted for this (of course).

So Meg Hillier why didn’t you?

YouTube video by Zoë Garbett A Green Mayor for Hackney - We Need You to Make History

We love Hackney, but it needs to work for all of us.

Rising rents. Mouldy homes. Foodbanks.

Zoë Garbett is running Mayor of Hackney to change that - with Dylan as Deputy.

But we need YOU.

RIP St Dominic's Primary.

Joined staff on their picket line alongside @liamzud.bsky.social , Hackney Independents & NEU ✊️

The school will close at the end of term. The staff have led an incredible campaign to try & save it which has loudly raised the alarm for other schools.

My climate emergency motion in 2018 came out of brilliant campaigning by so many Londoners.

It’s great the Mayor responded quickly and positively as that has led to clear net zero targets to which Green AMs continue to hold him accountable. Just five years left!

Tweet from Liam Davis staying Hackney Labour will not allow divestment to event be discussed let alone voted on. As a quote tweet to Mayor of Hackney stating. Strength in allyship runs through the join statement from UK Frank and canine on Gaza and the West Bank but there's so little time to get aid in as famine strikes

From my Green councillor colleague @liamzud.bsky.social calling out the Mayor of Hackney's statement.

All words. No action.

The situation in Palestine is horrifying and desperate. Hackney's residents, Green & Independent Cllrs have been pushing for the council to divest, blocked by Labour.

Green and Independent councillors stood at the front of Hackney Council chamber with signs, also projected on the screen

Green councillors took a stand with Hackney Independent Socialists against the undemocratic changes to the constitution

❌️Overriding residents' views
❌️Ignoring genocide
❌️Systematic housing failures
❌️Restricting democratic accountability
❌️'Savings' that really mean cuts!

We need bold leadership. Now.

That's why I'm running to be the next leader of the Green Party.

"We are not going to come forward with a wealth tax"
Labour spelling it out for anyone who had any doubt.

Squarely in the corner of the richest. Refusing to tax assets & property anywhere near as high as they tax people in work. The poor will have to pay again.
#r4today

People in overcrowded homes, using foodbanks & sleeping on the streets can't wait around for growth. They need change now.

I called on the Mayor of Hackney to be less grateful & more outraged at the lack of funding for local authorities & how this means continued cuts

Our Green motion tonight in Hackney calling to scrap the child benefit cap has been gutted by Labour into yet another ‘no money’ excuse. It’s now just a ‘maybe one day’.

Hackney has the 3rd worst child poverty rate in London.

Tonight, Hackney Greens will table our budget amendment inc the reversal of Labour’s £500k cut to Hackney Carnival.

After clear scaling back post-pandemic, this event deserves investment - not an ice out. We’d work to bring it back to life with community groups at the heart.

Submitted written question from Assembly Member Caroline Russell to the Mayor of London about plans for the Stoke Newington gyratory after being paused for so long.

Grateful to @carolinerussell.bsky.social for supporting us and raising the long-paused Stoke Newington gyratory plans with the Mayor. Residents and local businesses want answers after years of silence.

REAL HOPE. REAL CHANGE. TAKE BACK CONTROL OF WATER Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ

Thames Water have been allowed to add another £3 billion to their existing £19 billion of debt.

They've run up this bill by paying out huge amounts to bosses and shareholders instead of investing in our water infrastructure.

It's time for water to be run for people, not profit.

@alastairis.bsky.social @liamzud.bsky.social @zoegarbett.bsky.social

Brilliant work here from @greenparty.org.uk London Assembly member @zoegarbett.bsky.social - pushing Labour politicians locally and nationally to take action on the cost of rent crisis through a range of short term and longer term measures 👏

Joined Voyage Youth this week for their new Raising Voices programme.

So many great intersecting ideas on everything from housing, community safety, technology to the environment

We have hope in the next gens! 🙏

… Here we are, with our 2025 game faces on 🙂, refusing to accept Labour’s vision of “austerity forever”.
Three Green Party Councillors. Three oppositional & independent voices working hard for Hackney’s residents.
Proudly offering a transformative agenda. A thread:

Rise 365 leaders sharing their journeys

Spent the evening at Hackney Empire for Rise 365’s Memories 2025, remembering Robert Levy + every other young soul lost to knife violence in Hackney

Community is healing. Yet it alarms how much we increasingly rely on & expect from them to fill voids left by systemic failures

attack on the peaceful palestine march today by the cops is utterly unconscionable. videos of the violent arrests and testimony of those who were there stating cops have lied about being ‘pushed through’ must galvanise resistance and pushback against increasingly draconian tactics of the state.

Banning Section 21 evictions is overdue, but the Bill does almost zilch for affordability

You can now own a pet, but good luck finding a flat you can afford to rent

Hackneys green councillors with staff from Greenhouse homelessness advice service

Hackney's Green councillors @alastairis.bsky.social @zoegarbett.bsky.social & @liamzud.bsky.social visited Greenhouse, the @hackneycouncil.bsky.social homelessness advice service today. They provide much needed help in a friendly atmosphere.

They couldn’t find a working-class creative to lead this review?

It’s all the same voices on rotation - ironic, given working-class creatives are increasingly locked out of the arts through low-paid work & nepotism

The devolution debate in the Commons is peak Starmers Labour.

Entirely dressed up in "giving power to local communities" but clearly in detail moving power even further away from citizens.

Labour want to transfer public funds to private wealth & don't want people to notice!

No questions? Nothing?

Hackney Cabinet asked no questions of community campaigners who have been working with residents for 5 years on the future of 55 Morning Lane

Despite saying they are committed to codesign. 🤷‍♀️

IGNORED: Petition signed by 4000 residents to detwin from Haifa

Ignored by Mayor of Hackney who noted the petition - not even responding to resident speech introducing the petition

Petition to detwin comes to Full Council tonight for those able to come support!
