At Convention, Young Greens passed a motion to ban conversion therapy. It’s great to see Scottish Greens taking a stand in defence of LGBTIQA+ rights in the deal they’ve reached, in reforming the GRA in Scotland and finally banning conversion therapy 💚🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Priti Patel's Hostile Environment is neither proportionate or fair

These deportation flights should not fly independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

This follows instances where we believe Shahrar Ali's online statements are in conflict with the values of the Young Greens & the Green Party.

Our membership just voted to prioritise campaigning for #JusticeForStudents in the coming year!

This means:
✅ Free, accessible education
✅ Living rents for all
✅ Supporting the rent strikers
✅ Standing with trade unions on campuses
✅ Democratising our unis
AND MORE!

Facial recognition in our spaces puts us on a journey to blanket surveillance.

Violating our opportunity for consent & susceptible to bias against potentially vulnerable people.

It's not good enough for the Mayor to tell me there's transparency in adoption. It's not wanted!

Sistah Space Were finally able to relax and take a couple hours to celebrate the opening of the first ever Domestic abuse Charity shop of its kind, run by African and Caribbean heritage women to support ALL women.
