As Convenor of the Racism Policy Working Group, let me be clear: What we’re witnessing in this deputy leadership race is the weaponisation of white insecurity and identity politics dressed as allyship — where Global Majority candidates are punished for refusing to perform. This…
Convenor of the Racism Policy Working Group explains WHY @TheGreenParty needs an Anti-Racism Platform and Policy within the historical and present context of colonisation, empire and imperialism which exists today. youtu.be/k7rD5K1OxTM?si… via @YouTube
📍🏡 Did you know about 49.9% of residents in Malaysia believe landlords should be allowed to choose tenants based on race? Only 31.6% think this should be illegal, according to YouGov survey results shared by Architects of Diversity Malaysia. 💬 Should it be illegal for…
Every time @MothinAli posts on social media, even about routine local council issues racists & Islamophobes reply with abuse. Can the other Deputy candidates & the Green hierarchy show some support? Please put on record that you don't want votes or endorsements from Islamophobes.
I want to see every deputy leader candidate be actively anti-racist and call out the abuse @MothinAli receives on all his tweets. Not asking for a pledge - but real solidarity. @rachelmillward @AniST @a4antoinette @CllrThomasDaw @ChasWarlow @Frankadlingtons
Global Majority Greens will not ask for pledges. We want to see a history of anti racist behaviour and a real understanding of inclusivity. We are far too long in the tooth to be taken in by platitudes.
Frank’s statement is a textbook example of liberal white supremacy dressed as allyship. 📌 Frames @MothinAli ’s integrity as “lack of transparency” 📌 Deflects blame to “far-right agitators” while ignoring internal racism 📌 Weaponises white identity to enforce compliance 📌…
1/3 Legitimate scrutiny on the basis of pledges, husting attendance & engagement with the internal elections process is essential to our democracy. It is important, to me, to put my views on public record and I expect others to do the same. The racist and islamophobic abuse...
The new left party will have a young socialist Muslim woman as their leader who believes in alliances. We risk voting for middle class white Deputies who reject alliances. Can we at least have one working class Deputy like @MothinAli ?
Everyone is talking about tactical alliances on the left. Do you think this is the best way forward? Well, just like @zarahsultana ’s party, the Greens decide all policy via a vote at conference. If you want this to happen, you can join the Greens and build real change.
My body is starting to shrink, and I feel dizzy, tired, and extremely hungry. I only eat one meal a day, or maybe nothing at all. I'm really hungry. If you're passing by, please leave a dot. It's just a dot.
I fully commend @MothinAli Ali for taking this principled stand. His refusal to sign multiple pledges — not out of opposition to the causes, but out of integrity — is exactly why so many of us from the Global Majority respect and support him. This isn’t about being difficult.…
I’ve been sent pledges and hustings invitations from a number of Special Interest and Liberation Groups (such as the Vegan Greens, LGBTQIA+ Greens, Feminist Greens etc.), officially recognised and not. I’ve chosen not to sign any – not because I don’t support their causes, but…
I’ve been defending Mothin Ali, esp against the thinly veiled Islamophobia he’s facing but I don’t think social conservatism is compatible with progressive movements, regardless of religion. No religion gives anyone the right to exclude other marginalised people.
I'm following this dilemma being faced by Mothin with great interest. It's no secret that Muslims tend to be socially conservative. Is there space on the left to create a broad enough church to allow Muslims an authentic space, just as it does all other minority groups?
What we got up to yesterday. Videos to follow! #FeedGazaNow!
Today, Nottingham Green Party members protested outside Loxley House to urge the City Council to divest all investments in Israel. We continue to stand against the genocide in Gaza, and we must continue until the killing is stopped.
