ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

There is a lot of intense speculation about who the Green Party’s candidate for the Gorton and Denton by-election might be… We are busy democratically selecting a candidate. (And it’s definitely not me) 💚🗳️

I went to 2024 Green Party conference as a new member on my own.
Hannah Spencer was the mayoral candidate and a star of the event. She was very busy, but she made sure I was okay and knew what I was doing on several occasions.
Plus, she's a regular at Greens organise events!
I hope she stands.

Members of the Green Party want Hannah Spencer, the former Manchester Mayoral candidate to stand for the Gorton and Denton by-election
This was her Insta stories earlier today.
We’ve reached out to Hannah to confirm if she intends to stand and be selected, she has not responded as yet.

I'm on my way to a Chanukah event. It should be a celebration but instead our community is once again mourning.
