Scotland has a long and proud history of welcoming refugees. From those fleeing the Nazis in the 1930s, to those coming from Ukraine, Afghanistan and Syria more recently. We must fight to remain that welcoming nation, to stand up for our neighbours and show them that they belong here. 💚

🚢 It's the last week to respond to the Cruise Ship Levy consultation, secured by the @scottishgreens.org whilst in government 🤝 Whist it won't apply here in West Dun, it'll be an asset to our friends across the Clyde in @ren-inv-greens.bsky.social 🔗 Make sure you have your say: consult.gov.scot

Ask your MSPs to support @ross-greer.bsky.social's motion calling for a recall of the Flamingo Land Loch Lomond Resort proposal

🦩 It seems like the profits of a theme park operator have been put ahead of Scotland’s national interest and our world-famous natural environment. ↩️ The Scottish Government still has time to change course. 📢 Add your voice to the campaign at greens.scot/lochlomond

The culture war against the LGBTQIA+ community shows why #IDAHOBIT is needed more than ever. Scottish Greens will always stand with those fighting against hate and discrimination. 🏳️‍🌈🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

155,000 objections. The most unpopular planning application in Scottish history. Overturned by Scottish Government officials. Write to Planning Minister Ivan McKee and tell him to act now to #SaveLochLomond. greens.scot/LochLomond

The fact that the Scottish Government have overturned the National Park's decision on Flamingo Land is an outrage. This is the most unpopular planning application in Scottish history and will cause irreversible damage to the world-famous local environment at Loch Lomond.

A poll out recently showed that the majority of Scots support free university tuition. 1,725 students in West Dunbartonshire are currently benefitting from free tuition and the Scottish Greens will always support free tuition in Scotland.

1️⃣ It's 1 year to go until the next Scottish Parliament election. 🗣 That's 1 year to convince people in Scotland to vote for more green voices in Holyrood. 💚 Scotland can’t afford five more years of business as usual.

🚨 BREAKING: From September 1st peak rail fares will be scrapped for good in Scotland! 🟢2023: Greens scrap peak rail fares. 🟡2024: SNP bring them back 🟡2024: thousands join Green and trade union calls for the SNP to reverse their decision 🟢2025: SNP reverse their decision

"The promises of support and justice tomorrow mean nothing to those being actively harmed by inaction today." - @maggiechapman.bsky.social. The Scottish Government dropping the misogyny bill and plans to end conversion practices is shameful.

📉 To reduce car use, we need transport that is affordable and accessible 🚏 Scottish Greens have worked to make transport cheaper. We scrapped peak rail fares whilst in government, secured a bus fare cap and introduced free bus travel for young people ➕ We need to go further

It's time to ban greyhound racing in Scotland. Ask your MSP to support Mark Ruskell's bill and let's end this cruel sport for good.

🚨 @markruskell.bsky.social has formally lodged his members' bill to end greyhound racing in Scotland! Backed by animal welfare groups, campaigners and members of the public, the bill will now work its way through the Scottish Parliament.

The @scottishgreens.org have tabled amendments to the Housing bill to introduce a a 'mansion tax' in Scotland. A new top-rate LBTT on properties sold for more than £1m will help raise money to support services while impacting the very wealthiest.

“No Scot should be able to travel across the world to participate in a genocide and then return home without consequence." - @ross-greer.bsky.social

📸 We all had a great time at #SGPconf in Stirling today. Thanks to everyone behind the scenes that makes it possible!

🌧️ We're glad to see the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park's Rainforest Project as 1 of the 12 projects to get funding from the latest awards from the Nature Restoration Fund

Patrick has led our party for 17 years, as co-convenor and then co-leader. As one of the longest serving party leaders in Scotland, he put in a hell of a shift. Thank you, Patrick! 💚

The SNP's failure to save vital renter protections could send rents soaring. By removing the protections introduced by @patrickharvie.bsky.social, tenants are being left at the mercy of a broken housing market.

🚍 Since we rolled out free bus travel for under 22s, more than 3.5 million journeys have been made across West Dunbartonshire. ✅ The scheme has helped young people explore new opportunities, get cars off our streets and saved families money.

"Labour have chosen austerity and cuts for millions while their millionaire friends enjoy business as usual. This isn’t what Scotland waited 14 years for." - @lornaslater.bsky.social

🏡 Homes are not for hoarding. ⬆️ Let's lift the 200% council tax cap on second and empty homes, freeing up more homes for people and families who really need them.

We are glad to learn that the Kilpatrick Hills wildfire has been extinguished and our thanks go to the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service. @arianeburgessmsp.bsky.social is calling for the government to make sure our firefighters are equipped to deal with the increased risk of wildfires.

🗳️ A by-election has been called in Clydebank Waterfront for Thursday 15 May. 💚 With the Labour administration this month cutting EMA and the school clothing grant, we need green voices in the room. 🙋 Think you might want to stand? Check your emails for more information.

Local green MSP @ross-greer.bsky.social is calling for the planned rail fare increase in April to be scrapped. People across Scotland are being ripped off by extortionate rail fares. The increase coming next month will only make things worse.

💷 West Dunbartonshire Council is consulting on the introduction of a visitor levy 🛎️ Secured by the Scottish Greens, this levy would raise much needed additional funds from visitors through a modest charge on overnight stays 📅 Stage 1 consultation is open until 28 Feb

The deadline for Flamingo Land to appeal the unanimous decision against their plans is next Monday. They have put local residents through far too much over the last decade. Now is the time to concede that their mega-resort will never happen.

Today is International Volunteer Day, and volunteers are so important to the work we can do as branches. If you have some time spare and want to get involved volunteering for your branch, reach out and ask what you can do. There'll usually be some way you can help out.
