Hackney Greens are a friendly group of Hackney residents who work together to represent the green agenda in Hackney, fighting for local issues that affect the people of Hackney. We are an entirely voluntary organisation with no full time staff, the more of us that get involved, the more we can do, everyone is welcome to help us campaign for a fairer, sustainable society.
Dear Resident,
Have your say on the changes to Amhurst Road – which will have an impact on Graham Road.
I am writing about a leaflet you should have received from Hackney Council about changes on Amhurst Road.
On 24 January 2024, the Green Group’s motion on Responsible Tax Conduct was passed at a Full Council meeting. Polling from the Institute for Business Ethics finds that “corporate tax avoidance” has, since 2013, been the number one concern of the British public when it comes to business conduct. Around 17.5% of public contracts in the UK have been won by companies with links to tax havens. It has been conservatively estimated that losses from multinational profit-shifting (just one form of tax avoidance) could be costing the UK some £17bn per annum in lost corporation tax revenues.
On Thursday 2nd May we are getting out the Green vote – for Zoë Garbett for Mayor of London, our London Assembly candidates, and Antoinette Fernandez for the De Beauvoir by-election!
We are honoured to be joined by Green Peer Natalie Bennett and Caroline Lucas MP.
We have thousands of Green supporters, built up from months of hard campaigning. Now we need to ensure they all go and vote on the day!
Our plan is to have 'tellers' at polling stations (to check who has already voted), and knock on the doors of Green supporters who haven't yet voted to remind them. Even an hour of your time will make a difference.
There are plenty of roles to fill and you don't need to have any experience. You'll get a briefing in advance and full support from us on the day.
Sign up here and we will let you know in due course where to turn up, based on your availability: https://forms.gle/jYYRB4EMEuWqxyp76
May 2nd's London elections are hugely important to get Greens a bigger voice at London's top table. It's our best chance of electing more London Assembly members but we need to make sure all the Green voters we've identified turn out on the day!
Please sign up to help deliver a "Get out the vote" reminder card to all of our supporters in Hackney Downs.
Join us between 7am and 1pm. You will be given a round of addresses to deliver the cards to. Any time you can spare in the morning will be put to great use.
