Snapshots of summer in the ward🌻 Everything from filling potholes, street clean-ups & fighting evictions with ACORN Union... ...to refreshing disabled parking spots, celebrating community centres & checking in on elderly residents during the heatwaves. No two days are the same in this job!🏘♻️👷🏾

Know Their Names. Yesterday, the names of 18,500+ Palestinian children murdered in the Gaza genocide were read aloud in the city centre, from morning till midnight. I'm used to public speaking but the words have never felt heavier. Gratitude to Bridgford Muslim Action Group & others for organising🇵🇸

When Claremont Primary Wellbeing Ambassadors wanted to help their lonely classmates, we found a way to bring their idea to life. W/ the help of Selco, parents, some paint & pupils, 2 new friendship benches were recently unveiled🎨🫂 Always here to support my youngest residents to make change happen!

On Monday at @uonucu.bsky.social's rally against compulsory redundancies at the University of Nottingham, Cllr Shuguftah Quddoos (@councillorq.bsky.social) offered her and the Nottingham Green Party's solidarity with the union's struggle and spoke against the Labour Party's support of budget cuts.

As another heatwave hits the UK, the UK Green Building Council have said the UK’s schools, care homes and offices are not equipped for the effects of global heating. We need a maximum working temperature and urgent adaptation to protect people from the effects of extreme heat.

The Labour government's changes to Personal Independence Payment (PIP) will drive disabled people further into poverty. Scrap the plans now! Join us tomorrow, 1:30pm in Old Market Square, along with charity Disability Support, Notts TUC and Unite Community to stand for a more humane welfare system.

The headlines show us division; Notts comes together: •Celebrating refugee week & 25 years of Refugee Forum. I've also been supporting asylum seekers to access fresh food & financial support. •Counter-protesting the far right✊🏽 •Speaking to a 2000-strong crowd at the East Mids march for Palestine

Greens stood with numerous others in the city centre today to see off UKIP's attempt to march in Nottingham. @councillorq.bsky.social said to the Nottingham Post: "I'm proud to stand for a city and a political party that is proud of diversity and welcomes migrants. It is a strength not a problem."

🇵🇸At the Midlands March for Palestine on Saturday, Councillor Shuguftah Quddoos (@councillorq.bsky.social) spoke powerfully to a crowd of thousands about the levers we can use to secure a free Palestine. ▶️Watch in full on YouTube: youtu.be/oCbCG2oAcJs 💚Join the Green Party: join.greenparty.org.uk

When we met @councillorq.bsky.social last weekend, she told us exactly what she thought of Keir Starmer's immigration speech! #GreenChai

Solidarity on a purple picket line 💪🏾💜 Healthcare Assistants are the backbone of our hospitals. They've just finished a fresh wave of strike action to demand pay they're owed from way back in 2019. So inspired by these determined women! Let's support #PayFairforPatientCare

This week I caught up with Young Musicians for Palestine at their latest gig. Since meeting them last July they've raised over £5.5k for mutual aid projects in Gaza. Last week, myself & others spoke at the march for Palestine about steps towards divesting from arms companies #stopthegenocide

It's Spring & green things are afoot🌱 •Cal Phoenix is working his magic bringing John Far garden back to life w/ new planting🌸 •Ridewise charity is marking their 20th bday by getting more people confident on their bikes🚲 •Had a cuppa w/local businesses keen to reduce their environmental impact♻️

Israel — on trial for genocide at the ICJ, with leaders under ICC arrest warrants — bans journalists from Gaza to hide its genocide with lies & hasbara. The evidence of war crimes is overwhelming — yet the UK government still refuses to implement a full arms embargo & sanctions.

You know this is the point - it's the lazy city. You need food, you pop to the shop, you want to go to the pub, you just go. You walk to work. No need to think about if your car is fueled, about traffic, parking., anything.
