So necessary, so welcome, so late, and so insufficient from our Government.

An amazing win for @zackpolanski.bsky.social who will be backed up by @mothinali.bsky.social & @rachelmillward.bsky.social as deputies plus a fresh new GPEx Huge things await the party, well done to everyone who stood for the various roles, all with the shared goal of climate & social justice 💚🌍🏳️‍⚧️✊💚

✳️Last couple of days to go! Please remember to vote for GPEx as well as leadership team, and remind every member you know! Voting closes midday on Saturday, don’t leave it too late & get caught out!

Call BS on the Lies

“Shame on you” chant the anti fascist counter protesters trying to prevent a group of far right, racist anti migrant bullies from getting to what they think is an asylum hotel whilst Avon & Somerset Police attempt to ‘facilitate’ the march.

... who I'd be upset about if they won. Hoping we can have two of those talents as our next deputy leaders In case it is of interest to anyone, here are my top four, in order of preference - @anist.bsky.social @rachelmillward.bsky.social @greenantoinette.bsky.social Ash Routh #GreensElect 2/2

I have just voted for #DeputyLeader in the #GPEWelections - the toughest of the races! I thought (and read, and watched) a lot about how to vote, not just because it is such a big field, but because there is so much talent and experience among them. And really - there is not a single candidate...1/2

In partnership with St Mungos, the Severe Weather Emergency Protocol has been activated due to hot weather. This means that there is emergency support available for rough sleepers.

Today, I and other @bristolgreenparty.bsky.social members and councillors stood shoulder to shoulder with hundreds of others to protect a hotel housing asylum seekers, calling out the poisonous bigotry corrupting our society. We've done it before. We'll do it again. Solidarity ✊

“This is about years and years of austerity. This is about years and years of no council housing being built. This is about years and years and years of all of us being undermined by a system that’s not fit for purpose,” added Green councillor for Eastville Lorraine Francis.

“It’s really important to come out and show fascism how many people in #Bristol say ‘no, this is not a space for them’, and to show the migrants and most marginalised communities how we stand up for them and alongside them,” said @anist.bsky.social.

Greens were among those standing against the far right to protect a hotel housing asylum seekers this weekend ✊

Bristol is ANTI FASCIST Who’s streets? Our streets! Anti fascists out in force today to protect an asylum hotel #refugeesWelcomeHere #cityofsanctuary #bristol

Kat making incredibly important points here

I'm feeling quite disturbed by the conversations on the deputy leader election right now and wish people would stop talking past each other. First of all, the idea that Muslims are broadly anti-LGBTIQA+ is nonsense that is based on islamophobia and queerphobia. 1/4

And having revised my order you and Ash are first and second. I have to say you've been number 1 all along! 🥇

Featuring me & @ashrouth.bsky.social 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

FWIW I'm voting: @zackpolanski.bsky.social for leader. @mothinali.bsky.social and @anist.bsky.social for deputy. Appeals from candidates for the other positions and advocates thereof greatfully accepted!

Thank you Green Women’s Declaration for the enthusiastic encouragement to RON me! My response? Trans Right are human rights. An attack on trans rights are an attack on women’s rights, on lesbian rights, on queer rights, on feminism. 🏳️‍⚧️💪

Amazing, thank you so very much!

Ani is also for Zack bsky.app/profile/anis...

Not yet decided on my second preferred candidate but I'll most definitely be voting for @anist.bsky.social as my first

I'm at the South West Green Party leadership election hustings in Bath! @zackpolanski.bsky.social and @elliechowns.bsky.social sit on stage ready to answer members' questions.

Just like those backing Cuomo in New York, centrists in @greenparty.org.uk think we’ll sell out and settle for 'safe' politics They’re wrong We’re demanding real social and environmental justice and backing bold, progressive candidates like @zackpolanski.bsky.social and @anist.bsky.social 💚✊🏼

🫡 now this - this rings my bell. Ani has long been someone whose dedication to the Greens, zeal for the well-being of members and ability to stand up for the integrity of our processes has impressed me to no end. And now they’re running for Deputy Leader! This contest is in a GOOD place…

Today is #WorldRefugeeDay2025 - an opportunity to stand with those forced to leave their homes to flee oppression, war and violence across the globe. This week I stood up in parliament to remind MPs of the core British values of compassion and welcome.

🏳️‍⚧️ I’m standing, not just as a candidate for DEPUTY LEADER—but as a member of the trans and non-binary community who’s had enough. 😤 Enough of our conferences have been hijacked by a loud minority of anti-trans activists. This is sabotage and it’s time we did something about it… #ani4deputy

And then vote Ani for deputy!

Autocratic leaders of deeply anti democratic organizations appear to be trying to impose autocratic and undemocratic policies on the Green Party. This is just the political establishment trying to discredit the Green Party’s likely new leader Zack Polanski. Join and vote for him.

'GWD' are a hateful and reactionary lobby group hiding behind a name they frankly don't deserve, trying to gatekeep membership of a party they don't belong to, while pretending to speak for women despite most women standing in opposition to their hate This is who they are 2/

I stand steadfastly with Ani 💚✊🏼 'Green Women's Declaration' - a group backed by a surprising number of cis men and ran by a clique of bitter former members expelled for being a danger to other members - are outraged that a Non-Binary person could become Deputy Leader of the @greenparty.org.uk 1/

Am I reading this properly. A so called women's group is suggesting a cis women and non binary (woman in their eyes) might both be leader or deputy leader. This is pure hatred.

That’s two transphobic articles about the Green Party today, they must be doing something right. Clearly they’re worrying people in high places if there is such a big smear campaign going on against them, too.

Green Party policy is clear, TRANS WOMEN ARE WOMEN, TRANS MEN ARE MEN & NON BINARY IDENTITIES ARE VALID. www.politicshome.com/news/article...
