Two party politics is crumbling. There's no time to waste.

So I'm standing for Deputy Leader of The Green Party. I'll empower new leaders from all backgrounds & ensure we cut through in media like never before.

Hope Can Win.

Are you in touch with your local party?

So much love for this. I also love seeing @zackpolanski.bsky.social speak up to and call out Piers Morgan's transphobia. We can stand up to that sh*t and say no to hate. #transrightsarehumanrights

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Greens are doing amazing things on a local level whilst Reform causes chaos. I'll make sure people find out about all the work our local Greens are doing across the country. Thanks to @owenjones.bsky.social for the interview! 💚

My two stand-out highlights of Green Party conference were @rachelmillward.bsky.social and @mothinali.bsky.social's Deputy Leaders' speeches. Grounded, emotional, and inspiring.

Well worth watching in full:

after this section... "That is our story.... if we choose it now" - and then on to remind everyone there are no heroes coming, it's only us, and the fire... and we've got this.

Rachel Millward @rachelmillward.bsky.social · 6d

oh i'm so glad that resonated with you. I was really in two minds about getting so personal, it feels weird to tell your own story - but I hoped it would give something to others. So - thanks for sharing that.
