Welcome to the Twitter page of the South of Scotland Young Greens! 💚
From Stranraer to Selkirk, Girvan to Gretna, Lanark to Langholm (and so, so many more), Young Greens in the region will finally have a network for us to socialise and help improve our communities together! 🥰
🌲🌳 Scottish Greens in government are delivering a new National Park, adding to the existing parks at Loch Lomond & The Trossachs, and the Cairngorms.
Where do you think it should be?

Scottish Greens will always stand with those fighting against hate and discrimination.

Back home and reflecting on an inspiring few days in Barcelona at #YoungGreensGA23. Debates were sharp but sensitive and took place on a range of issues from the war in Ukraine, to nuclear power, to disinformation.
I’m really grateful for our green friends across Europe 🤝🇪🇺

"The Scotland that I want to build isn’t one of kings and queens. It is one where power lies with the people rather than being passed down as an undemocratic inheritance," says @lornaslater

The mask has truly slipped.
We've seen escalating attempts to obstruct our Parliament, from the Brexit power grab, to the new 'internal market' veto, to Section 35.
Under the Tories, devolution, like workers' rights, the right to protest, and human rights, is under attack.
Scotland can be a modern and democratic republic. Countries all across the Commonwealth are reconsidering their relationship with Monarchy. It's time for us to do the same.
