β€œI joined the Green Party because I refuse a politics that tells us we live on an island of strangers. The current system enriches a few while millions struggle, then it blames the most vulnerable in society to distract from rising inequality. 

Greens offer a hopeful alternative: a society built on peace, housing, and affordability. The notion of neutrality can be misleading and naive. It is time for a change; it is time for economic justice. The idea that we have to deal with the world as it is, not as we wish it were, aims to prevent us from building a fairer society. 

Imagine someone telling Martin Luther King Jr to put his civil rights dreams away. A revolution starts with a mere dream of the world we want to live in, and not as it is, and I, like most of you, have a dream of a fairer society.”

Last month, Councillor Bruno de Oliveira joined the Greens and became our 10th current councillor on Brighton and Hove City Council.

Never forget that Labour MP for Hove and Portslade Peter Kyle said that Peter Mandelson was "worth the risk".

Labour knew about Peter Mandelson. They just didn't care.

Parents scared for their toddlers' breathing. Renters waking to mold on the walls.

Cllr Marina Lademacher made the stark case last night for why we need to hold all landlords in our city to account.

Sadly, Labour chose to pat themselves on the back instead of taking action.

Brighton & Hove Green Party utterly condemn the antisemitic graphic of Green Party leader Zack Polanski posted on Friday by β€˜Reform UK Brighton & Hove’ on their official Facebook page. There can be no question that the graphic is antisemitic: depicting Zack Polanski, only the fifth Jewish leader of a UK political party in history, using tropes and imagery that deliberately and intentionally draw upon Nazi propaganda. 

The image itself is beneath contempt. Yet it is even more terrifying to reflect that for Reform UK, this is nothing new. This act of antisemitism represents only the latest demonstration of Reform’s openly racist and fascist platform. Nationally, they have been at the forefront of fuelling a rising tide of hatred, and discrimination. And on Reform UK Brighton & Hove’s Facebook, this antisemitic attack on Zack Polanski was followed yesterday by a further racist graphic declaring New York Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani to be a terrorist. 

Brighton & Hove remains a city that is anti-racist, anti-fascist and that stands firm against hatred. Two weeks ago, Brighton & Hove Greens were proud to join more than 600 people at the Stand Up to Racism Unity March. We note that this follows our own party members being subjected to explicit antisemitic abuse in the public gallery during a council meeting earlier in the month. We will continue to stand against antisemitism and racism in any form - and stand in solidarity with Zack Polanski against such abuse.
