A huge thank you to Baroness @GreenJennyJones, for coming to the @GreensOfColour AGM today, to talk about how she got into politics, the types of racism her Welsh father faced in London and how working class people can get into the politics.
An inspiration to so many!
Really powerful talk from @SoniaWinifred at the @GreensOfColour AGM today about the work she has done for her community and very sad to hear horrible treatment she faced by her local Labour party!
Absolute power in her voice, we need more voices like this.
Wishing a Happy Diwali to everyone who celebrates in the UK and across the world.
Lightness triumphs over darkness. Keep the faith.
From Global Majority Greens of @TheGreenParty
We're pleased to welcome Cllr. Moin Quadri, Cllr. Victoria Hornby and Cllr. Faruk Choudhury to the @BDHGreenParty today. They will shortly sit as the new Green group on Barking & Dagenham Council.

“That’s what I’m talking about with the closing of the coal mines, because there was nothing there to replace it where do these people go?
“If there was something straight away to say ‘you’re gonna move into this job and transfer your skills’ then people’s life chances would have been vastly improved.
“That’s what a lot of political parties have lacked, a voice that makes sure those interests are represented.
“That’s why I’ve stepped up, because I think if we don’t represent that voice we’re losing and ignoring a massive chunk of society.”

Today @ZackPolanski welcomed Victoria Hornsby, Faruk Choudhury and Moin Quadri, 3 councillors who today left Labour and joined the Greens creating the opposition on Barking & Dagenham Council.
Congratulations to @ZackPolanski, the new leader and @MothinAli and @rachelmillward as deputy leaders.
A dynamic team that will propel @TheGreenParty forward to meet the needs of people living in England and Wales in these challenging times.
@MothinAli Many of us of Global South heritage here in the UK, have family who lived, even died under Japanese Occupation during WW2. Still, we stand against the horrors of the atom bombs and in solidarity with Japanese survivors and families.
#Hiroshima80
80 years ago, 250,000 people were obliterated when the US dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima, then Nagasaki.
@MothinAli asks what have we learned from history?
As we hold them in our hearts, may their deaths not be in vain, and as humanity we stand against nuclear arms.
Today, 6th August 1945, the US dropped the bomb on Hiroshima, then on Nagasaki on the 9th August 1945.
We have to learn from history!
We can never repeat these tragedies. We can never repeat these horrors.
Now more than ever, we need more energy into the campaign for nuclear disarmament ☮️

"We must remember our basic humanity. Those coming to this country to flee violence include mothers with their children, as well as people of all ages who have endured unimaginable trauma. We have a duty to offer compassion and sanctuary, not fear and intimidation" @Amanda_Spoke
Convenor of the Racism Policy Working Group explains WHY @TheGreenParty needs an Anti-Racism Platform and Policy within the historical and present context of colonisation, empire and imperialism which exists today.

Gaza has revealed the truth about racism—it’s not just hatred, it’s a structure.
@HamzaMOEgal, convener of the Racism Policy Working Group explains how the Racism Policy Platform addresses this.
