“Defending Glasgow’s absence of events online, Green councillor Leodhas Massie said: “To set aside even a penny of Glasgow City Council’s budget for this during a chronic cost of living crisis would be sickeningly offensive.””
In light of reports concerning Glasgow’s Pride corporate sponsors we &
@rainbowgreens
are not marching in a ‘Green Bloc’ this Saturday but are calling for supporters there to show solidarity with Palestine & march as part of the ‘No Pride in Genocide Bloc’.
Full statement:
All our elected Glasgow Green representatives in one place 💚
Our 10 councillors are excited to get into that building behind them and start making a greener and fairer Glasgow
As a branch of the Scottish Green Party, we believe that there should be an elected head of state and that no person should acquire the right to any office of government by inheritance. We believe the monarch should not have any government, executive or judicial role.
👩 At today's Full Council, Glasgow councillors voted unanimously for
@cllrhollybruce
's Feminist City Motion
This move will see the Council adopt feminist town planning, gender budgeting and more, to make sure our city allows everyone to flourish 💚
We were proud today to march in the absolutely huge No Pride in Genocide: Radical bloc, standing as part of Glasgow's wider LGBTQ+ community as we made it clear that we support queer liberation, justice for the Palestinian people, and an end to pinkwashing by corporate prides.
Today we're launching our
#SaveOurSubway
campaign in response to the emergency funding for SPT coming to an end. 🚆 Here's

Iris Duane is standing in Glasgow North, seeking to become the first trans woman of colour elected to Westminster.
She has previously been listed among the Young Women’s Movement’s 30 under 30 list for her work supporting survivors of gender-based violence at Glasgow Uni.
First bus are scrapping night bus services at a time when safer, more sustainable modes of getting around Glasgow are needed more than ever.
Services should be retained, and reformed in the longer-term, to improve uptake.

today and proud to be marching.
Pride is a celebration but also a protest. We need an end to hate & fear. We need justice, health care and recognition for our trans and non-binary friends and siblings.
Today we're launching our campaign to ban new drive-thrus which are totally incompatible with tackling the Climate Emergency. Please sign and share to show that Glaswegians want to end profit hungry developers driving-up emissions and toxic air pollution.
Every part of Glasgow will have the chance to vote for the Scottish Greens in this summer’s crucial general election.
This gives Glasgow voters the chance to back left-wing candidates who will put the people and planet first.
❌Error: Backbone not found (404).
After removing the whip from 7 of their MPs Labour now has 404 MPs without a backbone between them.
They chose the Labour whip over their constituents. They chose their careers over tackling child poverty.🥀
We would like to extend our congratulations to
@PostmanCarson
on his election as the new councillor for the Linn ward.
We were very saddened by Malcolm Cunning's passing and that this by-election was ever necessary but glad that the people of Linn now have a new councillor.
Today in Glasgow, Labour and the SNP voted together to block Union recognition for Foster & Kinship Carers.
Foster & Kinship carers receive less support than ever before and asked for this reform. We are sorry that the other parties in Glasgow refused to support their call.
Before the radical bloc set off today 'No Pride in Genocide Glasgow' kindly asked
@cllrhollybruce
to address the huge crowd gathered there to show solidarity between the LGBTQ+ community and the Palestinian people.
No pride on a dead planet! No pride in genocide!

Following the very sad passing of local cllr Malcolm Cunning a by-election has been called. Glasgow Green Party has selected
@rightsandroses
as our candidate. A dedicated activist & Trade Unionist, Jen would make a great addition to our team working for a fairer & greener Glasgow
We’re at the protest against the inhumane actions of

and the Home Office. Serco want to put vulnerable people on the street, and that’s atrocious. People - children - who have endured horrors deserve compassion, not this.
