Emily Lowan (she/her)

Emily stands next to a wooden fish & a gigantic mountain at Robbers Roost Motel in Hazelton, BC.

Robber's Roost Motel!

Quick stop, then on the road again 🚙💨 #fighttheoligarchs #bcgreens #greenparty #britishcolumbia #tour

Emily gets a tour of the greenhouse, showing off the roots of some of the plants.

Emily speaks with Christine Anonuevo in her kitchen as she explains more about her local farming initiatives.

Wonderful visit to Senden Farm - hydroponics and year-round greens galore! Can’t wait for your solar cafe opening ⚡️ Greats talks on local farming and ways to bring our food system under public control.

So inspired to see this thriving community reclaim their economy and way of life⚡️#hazelton #fighttheoligarchs #bcgreens #greenparty #britishcolumbia #tour

Our visit to Sik-e-Dakh was mind-blowing - this Gitxsan community is completely self-sufficient and ecologically sustainable, with rooftop solar, daycare, affordable housing, a microgreen lab, chickens, and a newly-minted local meat/sausage processing facility.

With PRGT and Ksi Lisims LNG, this government is rolling out the red carpet for Donald Trump’s inner circle of American oligarchs to buy and control even more of our province. The only path forward is collective resistance. Follow and support: @laxyipyouth (instagram), @gitanyowchiefs (instagram)

The Gitxsan, Gitanyow and Lax Kw'alaams stopped PRGT 1.0 in its tracks in 2013. We will win this fight again.

An electric reunion in Hazelton, with communities protecting their lands and waters from the MAGA-backed PRGT pipeline. I felt so honoured to be joined by Deb Good (Watakhayetsxw), a Gitanyow Hereditary Chief, and many other community leaders.

Thank you @ckpgnews for coverage of our tour stop in Prince George! 🗞️#princegeorge #britishcolumbia #news #greenparty #bcgreens

My mom spent her teen years here, it was a treat to learn more about this beautiful place and the people who are in it for the long haul to protect it. (3/3)

We spent the day with conservation activists @conservationnorth, forestry workers, the mayor (@mayor_simon_yu ) and UNBC students (@unbc / @unbcstudentlife ) to hear their vision for a thriving, affordable future. (2/3)

Tour stop #1 - Prince George ⚡️🪵 After decades of corporate looting, forestry workers are fighting back to save their industry with selective logging, thinning and old growth protection. (1/3)

We (tried to) ask Billionares in their Vancouver mansions - what’s an oligarch? 🤔💰 #billionares #oligarchs #fighttheoligarchs #wealthtax #bcgreens

**Beep Beep** We’re on tour!! 🚗

This month, we’re travelling across the province, meeting with communities building bright solutions to reclaim BC’s economy for working people, not the billionaires.

We still have much work to do in the legislature and behind the scenes—but I am in awe of the bold activists and supporters who have been showing up for years in this struggle.

On Sunday, I brought forward a motion with @natalielingren to stand against genocide and apartheid, at home and around the world. The BC Greens are now the only anti-genocide political party in BC. This is a modest but important step.

The genocide of the Palestinian people by the Israeli state follows the same logic and has the same goal. Both Canada and Israel claimed to settle lands “without people” - an imaginary that required erasing those already there. Canada's silence on this genocide reflects our unresolved guilt.

Colonial violence has harmed people and land around the world. We have barely begun to reckon with our own country's bloody history of eradication and assimilation.

We can never undo the devastating impact of genocidal regimes, but we can work to educate, agitate, and build a world where everyone is truly free.

Last night, I met with Palestine solidarity organizers in Vancouver to discuss how the BC Green Party can support the struggle against the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people. I'm honoured to stand and fight alongside you 🇵🇸

Our movement camp and AGM weekend was a smashing success 🤠 We brought together party members, old and new, to chart a bold new path. Successful motions on Sunday - the BC Greens are now the only anti-genocide political party in BC. Get in on the ground floor - join us today bcgreens.ca/join (‼️)

BC billionaires hoard more wealth every year — and it’s making life worse for…literally everyone else. 2 minutes on how we got here and our game plan to fund the future⚡️Share & join us: bcgreens.ca/join/

Fun fact: Carney wasn’t even welcome in Prince Rupert for this announcement — local nations including Lax Kw’alaams and Metlakatla are opposing Ksi Lisims LNG. He had to change the venue last minute, yet the Feds and province are still rushing to fast-track this giveaway to US billionaires. #bcpoli

The fracked gas being exported is dirtier than coal, and Carney and Eby are pretending this is ‘clean growth’ while they gamble with our climate, taxpayer dollars, and Indigenous rights. It’s up to us to spook investors and thwart a final investment decision. /3

The Ksi Lisims terminal will be built in Korea and floated over, which means the steel and high-paid construction jobs are overseas. Meanwhile, British Columbians are stuck with the pollution and higher energy bills, but very few lasting local jobs. /3

Ksi Lisims is 100% foreign-owned through Houston-based Western LNG, backed by U.S. private equity giants like Blackstone and Apollo. Their CEOs are the same men who financed Donald Trump’s campaigns, lobbied for billionaire tax breaks, and wrote birthday poems for Jeffrey Epstein. Elbows up? /2

Elbows up?🤔 Why Carney’s fast-track announcement is a disaster course for BC — from US foreign ownership to overseas jobs and climate impacts /1 🧵 #bcpoli

Mark Carney is about to announce more of his “elbows up” major projects.

But under the surface, one that’s being sold as an Indigenous-led LNG project is actually — spoiler — American as hell.

That’s not even the worst part!

@emilylowan.bsky.social joined me to discuss:

The Zoomer who became B.C. Green Party leader (feat. Emily Lowan) Could today’s guest represent the future of progressive politics? Last week, Zohran Mamdani shut up the naysayers when he became mayor of New York City. Critics raged that he was too young, too lef...

🚨LIVE at 12pmET TODAY!🚨

@emilylowan.bsky.social won the B.C. Green Party leadership on a message to "fight the oligarchs."

She's got big ideas and *actually* understands social media.

Is this first-ever Zoomer leader of a Canadian political party the future of progressive politics?

WATCH LIVE:

Stoked about Mamdani's win and want to build the same energy here in
BC? RSVP for our AGM today -
