*In & Against: a new series exploring strategies for Greens in local government* Greens are poised to take council seats & entire councils in 2026 & beyond - how do we prepare? SESSION 1 The rise and fall of municipal socialism with Owen Hatherley & @tamhauyu.bsky.social 13th Jan, 6:30pm

Mr Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social said the Greens were targeting advances in #London boroughs like #Brent, #Hackney, #Lewisham and #Newham — all #Labour strongholds — as well as #Manchester, #Birmingham and rural areas morningstaronline.co.uk/article/gree...

Absolutely bowled away we're now at OVER £1K DONATIONS in just 24h of launching our crowdfunder to elect @liamshrivastava.bsky.social Mayor & make Lewisham Green! Hugest thanks folks💚 Labour have betrayed us all. Join our movement, and help us organise to win: www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/elect-lewi...

Pleased to back my friend & comrade @liamshrivastava.bsky.social to be the next Mayor of Lewisham, our 1st Green Mayor! As a committed antiracist antifascist organiser, his leadership has been an antidote to managed inequality under Lewisham Labour WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR! 🚀 bit.ly/makelewisham...

Just to clarify my position, I work with @tamhauyu.bsky.social on the Greens Organise steering committee and she used to be a Labour councillor and then defected to the Greens, and she's outstanding. If that's the quality we're getting from Labour then more please!

🔴Morgan McSweeney, 'The Fraud' and The Takeover of the Labour Party Investigative journalist Paul Holden joins @ollyhaynes.bsky.social to talk about his new book, 'The Fraud: Keir Starmer, Morgan McSweeney, and the Crisis of British Democracy' www.bylinesupplement.com/p/morgan-mcs...

I've met a lot of inspiring and talented activists in the Green Party and especially in Greens organise. Our Greens Organise Co-Chair Hau-Yu is right up there with the best of them. Give her a follow and give this a listen.

I was interviewed by The New Party Podcast on the histories and conditions which led to @greensorganise.bsky.social, our shared vision and aims. How we're organising to get everyone there collectively, as well as to prevent rightward drift when we get into power podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/8...

Hackney Green Party stands in solidarity with everyone affected by Hurricane Melissa, which has brought devastation to Jamaica, Haiti, the Dominican Republic and Cuba.

Hackney Green Party is horrified by reports of massacres in el-Fasher, Sudan, following its capture by the Rapid Support Force (RSF) - a group accused by the UN of mass atrocities in Darfur. Our hearts go out to everyone affected.

"I had a friend....who was dismissed recently...because they weren't smiling enough at other members of staff." The hospitality sector has some of the worst working conditions in the UK. We need an overhaul of workers' right and we need collective bargaining....now! @greenpartymdm.bsky.social

It was nice to run into a whole bunch of the @greenparty.org.uk’s amazing councillors, including @tamhauyu.bsky.social and @chaswarlow.bsky.social, the evening before one of the Local Government Association’s weekend training sessions 💚 Thank you for hosting us all, Grace!

I hope that Lewisham council lends full support for this motion put forward by Green Cllrs @liamshrivastava.bsky.social and @tamhauyu.bsky.social that will see the council observing international law and divest in companies complicit in war crimes and genocide committed in Gaza and the West bank

Thanks Cllr Hau-Yu Tam! @tamhauyu.bsky.social #BackZack

📢 Mothin's interview with @OborneTweets for @MiddleEastEye out now! youtu.be/IJi0DtoLx7c?... 🎥Mothin discusses how he got into politics, the way to beat Reform, how to unite people and more! 🗣️Please share 🙏 Thank you! Team Mothin 💚

@lewishamgreenparty.bsky.social unequivocally condemns @teamlabouruk.bsky.social's decision to proscribe @palaction.bsky.social as a "terrorist organisation" We've joined protests & publish this statement ahead of today's Urgent Hearing outcome, which will hopefully stop the ban coming into effect.

"Ombudsman concluded DWP failings in dealing with Tracie’s PIP claim a “significant contributing factor” in her decision to take her own life in 2020" @elliereeves.bsky.social, her Lewisham Labour MP, would've voted through these cuts if she could www.disabilitynewsservice.com/silence-from...

On LBC @zoejardiniere.bsky.social lists 3 previous instances where military aircraft have been targeted by campaigners in order to prevent them being used in war crimes, and she describes the govt banning Palestine Action as terrorists as an abuse of state power. Well said.

It's not just me @lewishamlabour.bsky.social targeted. My @lewishamgreenparty.bsky.social colleague @tamhauyu.bsky.social was falsely accused of organising a Palestine protest and suspended by the party. This is how Labour shamefully treats those speaking out against genocide.

Today, we were out canvassing in Telegraph Hill and Ladywell wards. This time, with two Green Councillors! This week, @liamshrivastava.bsky.social left the Labour Party and joined us. Now, our two councillors @tamhauyu.bsky.social and Liam will be able to do so much more for residents in Lewisham.

Overjoyed @liamshrivastava.bsky.social is joining @lewishamgreenparty.bsky.social @greenparty.org.uk! This now makes 2 of us: a growing Green group taking on the irredeemable @teamlabouruk.bsky.social @lewishamlabour.bsky.social This fight is on multiple fronts as he likes to say, & together!

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

Big green day out in Suffolk, over 250 volunteers decended on the town of Ipswich for one of the most well organised campaigning events I've ever seen. @adrianramsay.bsky.social @tamhauyu.bsky.social

Friday #EidinthePark hosted by Lewisham Mosque. I wish all celebrating Eid Mubarak—despite our grief & anger at millions being starved & genocided in Palestine, Sudan, Myanmar. We recommit to acting in solidarity to end genocide, while uniting to defend the UK from far right in the streets & in Govt

Green Councillor Hau-Yu shared her fears for her constituents - migrant workers who have been racially abused since last summer's riots, following Keir Starmer's immigration speech. @tamhauyu.bsky.social #GreenChai x.com/GreensOfColo...

Pleasure to be With @tamhauyu.bsky.social @andrewfeinstein.bsky.social @deputeeobono.bsky.social at @londongreenparty.bsky.social

Labour prevent the 1 green councilor for Lewisham @tamhauyu.bsky.social from being on any scrutiny committee. She's the only non Labour councillor on the council. Clearly they don't want any actual scrutiny. 🫣

The Supreme Court is wrong. Trans people exist. Billionaires shouldn’t. Lewisham Green Party stands boldly and unapologetically with the Trans community. Today and always! 🏳️‍⚧️ #TransRightsAreHumanRights

🏳️‍⚧️ Full solidarity with trans communities & NO QUARTER to transphobes or 'gender criticals'. Yesterday 1000s took to the streets to affirm trans women are women, trans rights are human rights. As ever our Government, their millionaire donor pals & street/keyboard fascists are attacking the WRONG 1%

💚 Lewisham Green Party including Cllr @tamhauyu.bsky.social was out on Saturday supporting the local march for Palestine which was celebrating the submission of a 3000+ signature strong petition to #Lewisham council demanding divestment for Palestine! #divestment
