Cllr Adejare, who previously served as the Speaker of Hackney, has served Hackney residents for more than a decade and has built a reputation as a fearless advocate for working-class communities, social and private housing tenants and those too often ignored by the political establishment.
Hackney Green Group Co-Leader Zoë Garbett says: “Tonight we are so proud to welcome Soraya to join the Hackney Green Party. Her move to join the Green Group sends a clear message: Hackney residents deserve representatives who will stand up for their communities, not simply follow party lines.”

Despite being one of the best paid MPs outside of parliament Farage is still shilling over on Cameo, where for £80 he'll wish your dog a happy birthday. Wonder what he'd say for a bit more?

Hackney Greens are shocked and saddened to hear of the horrific attack in Bondi Beach. Our thoughts are with the victims of this senseless violence and with the Jewish and Australian communities here in the UK who are feeling shaken. An attack on people celebrating their faith is an attack on us all. This week I am joining members of the community celebrating Hannukah to light the candle on the town hall's menorah. We all need light in these dark times. We will continue to stand together in the name of love and common humanity. Councillor Zoë Garbett Hackney Green Party
A message of solidarity from @zoegarbett.bsky.social in response to the Bondi Beach attack.
Green graphic with text: small business Saturday. Hackney Greens back local business
Community wealth is built here with every pound we spend.
So before you buy at a big chain that funnels our money out of Hackney, think whether there's a local small business alternative you could visit or search for online.

The erosion of pay and insufficient specialty training places in the NHS is unacceptable - I have heard the impact that this is having on individual doctors as well as the impacts on services provided to patients by the NHS. I previously worked in the NHS as a children's health commissioner and also worked to address health inequalities through NHS health services. I worked closely with a range of incredible clinicians who were working hard to deliver high standards of care. NHS are staff ARE the NHS! Cllr Zoë Garbett AM Green Candidate, Mayor of Hackney Green Member of the London Assembly
The NHS wouldn't function without you and you must be treated with the respect, dignity and pay you deserve. The Green Party supports calls for a properly public funded NHS. During the2024 General Election our manifesto pledged £4.6 billion, specifically to tackle pay injustice, including settling the resident doctor dispute and funding a workforce plan designed to recruit and retain staff across the NHS. I know the decision to strike is never taken lightly. We stand in solidarity with you all. Cllr Zoë Garbett AM Green Candidate, Mayor of Hackney Green Member of the London Assembly
NHS staff ARE the NHS!

Hackney Green Party statement on Sudan Hackney Green Party is horrified by reports of massacres in el-Fasher, Sudan, following its capture by the Rapid Support Force (RSF) - a group accused by the UN of mass atrocities in Darfur. Our hearts go out to everyone affected. Sudan is facing the world's largest humanitarian crisis: 150,000 people killed, 12 million displaced, and 25 million in urgent need of aid. Humanitarian agencies warn that tens of thousands could die within days without access to food, water and medical care. We are deeply concerned byb credible reports that UK-made weapons exported to the United Arab Emirates have been found in RSF hands. We call on Hackney MPs to press the Government to back UN demands for humanitarian access, enforce the arms embargo, and act now to stop the massacres and deliever lifesaving aid.

It's tantalisingly close to happening!
