Hate crime probe after men attacked with metal pole Four men fled the scene in a white van

Absolutely horrific hate crime attack last week against two innocent men. If you know anything please get in touch with the police or Crimestoppers - we need to catch the assailants. This behaviour is not acceptable and racism is never welcome here #Bristol

Comments denying the existence of trans people are really not cool. There are trans / non binary people working for the council and they shouldn't have to listen to discrimination and hate speech in their workplace

Why are transphobes so obsessed with everyone's genitals? It's pretty creepy tbh

Not when it comes to discriminatory comments and dangerous rhetoric that reduces a woman to what she looks like. You wouldn't expect people to have to "listen respectfully" to offensive comments against any other oppressed group.

Hi, if you're referring to the transphobic comments from yesterday, then yes I left the council chamber when they were being made. I don't think hate speech has a place in our elected spaces, and I think those comments were needless, and actively harmful to trans people.

Just got confirmation in Members Forum that #Bristol #libraries budget is protected for next year!!! 🥳

Labour scaremongered residents about this, even though they slashed the budget by 25% when in power.

Us Greens will continue to push to get libraries open for longer where residents need it most!

The inspiring project connecting communities in Barton Hill "We need as a city to look after our children, no matter their colour or background"

This is really impressive work going on in Barton Hill by grassroot organisations, connecting families from various cultures. I wish everywhere had this "find your village" mentality! As one participant said, “I think other communities can learn from Barton Hill”

For anyone who lives or works in the area, the next community forum is Thurs 25th Sept in the evening at Easton Christian Family Centre (next to the Leisure Centre). Police and council are both in attendance at these meetings, which are trying to find ways to stop these sorts of incidents.

This part of Stapleton Road is currently cordoned off, between roughly Clifton Place and Armoury Square, following two incidents with knives. One person taken to hospital. If you are trying to go through the area this afternoon I would recommend an alternate route if possible. #Bristol

We must tackle inequality.

Your bills are not high because of migrants.

The NHS is not crumbling because of migrants.

It's because of politicians who only serve the super rich. 👇🏼

New lift could finally provide step-free access for station Network Rail have submitted plans to Bristol City Council for the project

Really pleased there will finally be a step-free way for people to access platform 2 at Lawrence Hill station - ridiculous that it's been this way for years! I worked with WECA around this to argue for it - it's a no-brainer! #Bristol #trains #publictransport

⏳Final week to sign up to the Green Party.

🗳️ Vote for Bold Leadership on August 1st.

...because politics affect our daily lives, and very specifically affect whether a centre like this can legally even open in England?

The government has seen the scheme in Glasgow. They've seen the evidence from other countries. This isn't down to a lack of information. It's a political decision.

We heard from experts in the field, including from the centre in Glasgow already saving lives!

And saw very moving artwork made by the families and friends of those lost to drug overdoses - people who might still be here if they'd been offered a harm reduction approach, rather than a punitive one.

England's first safe space for drug taking could open in Bristol The first official Overdose Prevention Centre is already saving lives in Glasgow

Brilliant meeting last night - we discussed the possibility of England's first Overdose Prevention Centre in Bristol

The national Labour government is dragging their feet to give the necessary legal permissions, despite overwhelming evidence that this works!

Had such a good time on Saturday at Bristol Pride 😊🏳️‍🌈 and shout out to Avon Fire & Rescue for an excellent pre-party complete with toys and breakfast and face glitter! What great day. #LoveWins

Anyone who wants to take on the Tories, Reform and this failing Labour government is a friend of mine.

Looking forward to seeing what this looks like in practice.

Complete agreement, it was incredibly traumatic for many residents. There is going to be an independent inquiry so it will be interesting what that brings out.

It's been a little over a year since I got elected in Lawrence Hill, and I thought it might be helpful to list out what Yassin and I have been up to!

If you think I've missed anything important, either in the to-do list or the already-done list, let me know!

#Bristol @greenparty.org.uk

Bin collections in Bristol are 'improving' after chaotic year Thousands of streets had overflowing bins during the worst of the disruption

Congratulations to the Green led environment & sustainability committee for getting Bristol’s waste collections back to where they should be after Labour mismanagement. While Bristol Labour scaremongered about hypotheticals, Greens got on with sorting things out www.bristolpost.co.uk/news/bristol...

The cycle path is open, but part of Newtown Park is cordoned off by police following a stabbing last night. I'm told a man in his 20s is in hospital with life-changing injuries, but is expected to survive. 3 men made off on bikes. Police are asking anyone with any info to get in touch. #Bristol
