Early success of #Greens #civic #strategy on #York council in 2022 as York cuts emissions by 16%: www.york.gov.uk/news/article...

Great to see so many new faces (a small selection here) at our new members' welcome meeting tonight!

Those of you in #York who attended the #trans rally here last Saturday may be interested in following @transgreens.bsky.social (if you're not already).

York Greens are proud to stand up for #trans rights. Catch York Greens Councillor candidate Joe Nasson being interviewed at the York trans rights rally last Saturday: www.instagram.com/reel/DQ1fmru...

@tomnfranklin.bsky.social, #York #Green's Chair, called for the 'start of a genuine peace process' and a #FreePalestine at a recent York #MarchforPalestine where people of all faiths and none joined in #solidarity with #Palestine.

York Greens are really proud of this work by @greenjennyjones.bsky.social and @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social to ensure that housing doesn't need to cost the earth

DOUBLED!!! Absolutely extraordinary. Thank you everyone. This is the movement. Join.greenparty.org.uk

Thousands of Yorkshire homes at increased risk of flooding Are insurance companies still providing suitable coverage for rising climate change impacts? By Brian McHugh @yorkshirebylines.co.uk

“The government wants to let developers do what they like — and we all lose out.” Part 3 of the Planning Bill must be stopped. #ProtectNature #HouseOfLords

Good quality housing: what the UK could learn from the Dutch Affordable, sustainable, climate-adapted housing that matches regional and national needs is desperately required everywhere By Professor Juliet Lodge @yorkshirebylines.co.uk

Happy Diwali! 💚

“Only 5% of migration is from small boats, but it gets 95% of the headlines. It would be ludicrous to cut legal migration when we have 150,000 NHS vacancies." Zack Polanski says politicians must stop fuelling fear and start telling the truth about immigration. #Peston

#York #Green Councillor candidates Henry and Ben out doorknocking in Guildhall, York yesterday with the local Green #dreamteam (and a cheeky bus in the background)! #real #grassroots #literally #onyourbike

#York #Greens attended York Mosque's Open House on Sunday amongst hundreds of visitors from different faiths + backgrounds. We enjoyed lovely refreshments, stalls, and an inspiring address by Professor Adeeba Malik, High Sheriff of #Yorkshire!

I had to leave the Green Party Conference early today to visit the mosque that was firebombed in Peacehaven. It's times like this we've got to come together as a community to stamp out hate and those thay seek to divide us.

This is quite long but worth the watch. Look out for what @mothinali.bsky.social has to say about class

Standing together against ALL #racism and hatred at the #YorkUnityRally. Green Party Councillor candidate Joe Nasson championed the fair distribution of #resources, #equality, and #human #rights for all!

We are better as a whole when we all support each other against ALL racism and hatred! If you're in #York this weekend, join in one of these #solidarity events: York Unity Rally, 1 pm Sat 4th Oct, St Helen's Square, and Flagbearers of Unity Community event, 2-4 pm Sun 5th Oct, York Mosque.

My thoughts and prayers are with all those injured in today’s attack at a synagogue on Yom Kippur, and with the wider Jewish community. No one should feel unsafe in their place of worship. We must all work to calm tensions, stand together, and reaffirm our shared commitment to peace and solidarity

Congratulations to our friends in Münster 🌻💚 Wonderful to see Tilman Fuchs elected as Mayor with such a strong result. As Greens in Münster’s twin city of York, we celebrate with you today and look forward to seeing the great work ahead for a fair and sustainable future. #York #Münster #GreenParty

Holocaust Memorial Day - to remember. And to stand against today's hatred and prejudice

Says @rspb.bsky.social “There is some deeply shocking rhetoric coming from the UK government" Yes. The #ClimateEmergency and #NatureCrisis are physical realities that the government ignores at all of our peril www.theguardian.com/environment/...

If true, what Labour front bench is doing is unforgivable. The #CANBill is essential & has backing of huge number of experts, scientists, unions & enjoys cross-party support. If backbench Labour MPs ever consider rebelling against leadership on anything, let it be this - a liveable future for all 👇

If true, this is unbelievably reprehensible - an early test of Labour Government’s green commitment and they’ve comprehensively failed. @zero-hour.bsky.social

Honesty without action won't solve Britain’s challenges. Climate crisis, a fair economy, and trust in politics need real solutions—not empty promises. Let's demand better from all parties. 🌍💚 My letter letter @yorkpress.bsky.social #GreenerYork #PoliticsForPeople #GetGreensElected #York

Frosty morning, warm conversations! ❄️💚 The Fishergate Green Team was out today, listening to residents and sharing our vision for a greener York. #York #GreenerYork #GetGreensElected

Great turnout at our local conference today! Thank you @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social & Leeds Green councillors for their inspiration. We're holding Labour to account – with huge majority in government, control of council & regional mayoralty, there are no excuses not to deliver promised changes

Just created a starter list of people & organisations in and around York on Bluesky. Let me know who's missing and should be added to help build a wider, connected Bluesky community for the city! #York #Bluesky bsky.app/profile/did:...

‼️ NEW: Greens have taken control of Lancaster Council, after by-elections made them the largest party. Caroline Jackson (Green) was elected as leader, replacing the outgoing Labour leader. 🟩 Caroline Jackson: 31 votes 🟥 Against Jackson: 20 votes ⬜️ Abstain/Absent: 9 votes

"This COP has tested the patience of everyone who wants to see the devastating climate crisis tackled. The final agreement is simply not good enough. It’s time to build a COP process free from fossil fuel influence." - Adrian Ramsay, Green Party Co-leader and MP for Waveney Valley.

❗️NEW: Poll suggests Labour would lose Huddersfield to Green Party - the Greens' first MP in the North. 🟩 GRN 28% (+1) 🟥 LAB 27% (-11) 🟦 CON 20% (+4) 🟪 REF 20% (+5) 🟧 LD 5% (+1) Based on @Moreincommon_ poll, 19-21 Nov

Energy bills are set to rise again - and people are paying the price for government inaction.

😠 How can the US be the sole veto against a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate, unconditional, and permanent ceasefire in Gaza, and the immediately and unconditionally release of all hostages? The world demands peace and humanity #CeasefireNow 🕊️ 😥

🌍💰 "The UK, and indeed the world, is overfinanced to destructive ends," says @nataliegreenpeer.bsky.social. Too many talents fuel the next financial crash instead of addressing real-world crises.

#EqualPayDay is sooner this year because that gap has widened, with men earning an average of £631 more than women per month, and even more for black, minoritised and disabled women. The Government must take urgent action to reduce the pay gap.

Morning Green world 🌅 Repost!!! We’re less than 277 followers away from 1k. Let’s reach the first big milestone by today. 💚

Does anyone know of a good starter list of people, places, and organisations in #York to follow or connect with? We're looking to build a network of local voices and resources. Suggestions welcome!

LGBTIQA+ venues are the heart of London's queer culture — spaces for expression, community, and safety. Preserving them means protecting history, fostering inclusion, and ensuring future generations have places to be themselves. 🏳️‍🌈 #QueerSpaces #London youtu.be/j6CiJLVpIHs?...

💚 Congratulations, Caroline! 🇪🇺 The Green Party is clear, we should rejoin the Customs Union and Single Market to help repair our relationship with our closest neighbours and look to rejoin the EU as soon as the time is right.

Hi David @ynymayor.bsky.social, your colleague in West Yorkshire @mayorofwy.bsky.social has already committed to the £2 cap, but we’re still waiting to hear if you'll act to keep #York fares at £2 from Jan '25. With more bus priority expected in 2025, a 50% fare increase risks undoing any benefits.

🗳️ By-election alert! Following the resignation of LibDem councillor in Haxby & Wigginton, a by-election will take place on Thurs 28th Nov. 🌱 We're excited to support Ian Lowson as our Green candidate! 💚 Ready for real change in our community? #HaxbyWigginton ✨ york.greenparty.org.uk/2024/11/01/i...
