The top text reads "sign the open letter: women against the far right" with the Stand Up To Rasim logo and a black and white image of some women. The top right shows the Glasgow Greens logo. 


Below, white text on green backgrounds reads ""The far right is not interested in โ€˜protecting women and girlsโ€™; they are interested in controlling them and upholding systems of oppression. Feminism means advocating for the rights of all women. We stand in solidarity against bigotry, the far right and for justice for all."

Prominent Greens member rules out running for leadership due to 'toxic culture' A prominent Scottish Greens member has ruled out standing in the leadership contest due to the "toxic" culture within the party ...

I'm not running to be Co-leader of the Scottish Greens.

I'll keep fighting for people & planet but we need to tackle the cultural issues inside our house first.

Members have asked for a cultural review, & I hope leadership candidates make sure it happens.

Meet the 'radical' Greens challenging Harvie and Chapman โ€œWeโ€™re seen as a pseudo-intellectual middle-class party... But now we need change," former oil and gas man Guy Ingerson says.

In recent years, the Scottish Greens have become "establishment" and "middle class."

That's what a group of activists challenging party leaders for coveted spots on the Holyrood list say.

BBC News. Scotland to prioritise renewable energy over nuclear power.

BBC News. Scotland to prioritise renewable energy over nuclear power.

New nuclear plants won't cut our energy bills, they'll only line the pockets of profiteers.

The only nuclear plant being constructed in the UK is projected to finish 6 years late and ยฃ28 billion(!) over budget.

We must invest in harnessing Scotland's huge renewable potential.
