⏳ We’re just a little further than halfway through our term, and I wanted to share some of the fantastic stuff going on with @YoungGreenParty at the moment. Whilst juggling individual projects, it’s easy to forget to step back and look at the bigger picture.
🗳️ We’re gearing up for a huge set of local elections, with more target candidates across England than ever before, and an exciting plan to mobilise activists from Brighton to Bernley

🎉 And we jumped the gun, supporting @PatDBMcAllister’s successful by-election win in #Bristol Bristol Young Greens action day
💪 We’re a month out from 30 Under 30, our flagship political education and activist training programme. 30 Young Greens will join us in Swindon to learn and practise the skills they need to organise in their communities, on campuses, and within @TheGreenParty.

💚 And it’s fantastic to see so many of last year’s cohort on ballot papers this May, leading local groups, and on our Executive Committee. We’re not just finding and training up the future of the party — we’re creating its present. The 2022 30 Under 30 cohort, outside with a Young Greens ban
✊ Meanwhile, Young Greens have been out on picket lines across the country, supporting @UCU, @RMTunion, @theRCN, @unisontheunion, @ASLEFunion, @NEUnion, and many more. Our solidarity with workers demanding a fair deal is fundamental to our fight for a just transition. Graphic: stood in solidarity with trade unions — with plac
🌍 We’re keeping up our international links with @FYEG, supporting our members to attend and facilitate European events, and actively participate in the policy-making process, including in @europeangreens The FYEG mental health lab in Brussels
There’s so much more, too. But I’m proud of what we’re creating: an active, engaged movement, winning power and influence, and using it to radically reimagine our society, with people and planet at its heart. Young Greens are leading the way, and showing how it’s done 💚

Really disapointed in @NFBUK here, positioning blind and visually impaired people like me against active travel and public transport measures. This position does not represent me.

This infrastructure can be accessible — and so often is —, with clearly contrasted crossing points, tactile paving, etc. I’m lucky to have had access to robust habilitation training — and that's key too, to boost confidence and travel skills.
This infrastructure boosts public transport coverage, vital to our independence and freedom. And active transport measures make our streets safer from vehicle-related incidents, and our air cleaner.

#TuitionFees are an active contributor to sustained and deepening socioeconomic inequality — true when they were introduced by @UKLabour in the late 90s, even more so now that they top £9000 a year. Let me explain. 🧵
There are people studying the exact same course as me. They’re in the exact same lectures, the exact same tutorials, reading the exact same core literature. We’re accessing the same teaching resources and facilities.
The only difference? They don’t have a student loan. Their parents have been able to pay £27,750, and likely living costs, too, for them to attend university loan-free. If they’re in the position to do so, do I blame them? Not at all.

It’s possible to oppose HS2 in principle, accept that sufficient damage has occurred to make calling it off now a worse option, and thus see this watering down of environmental pros (low carbon transport) as a waste, given the constant in the level of environmental destruction.
I’m not saying this is my view, just that those opposed to HS2 are not hypocrites for seeing this as a loss, nor are they obliged to portray this as a win. The same level of environmental damage, whatever that may be, is still occurring, just with fewer long term benefits.
