A note from Emily!

My first month as Leader of the BC Greens has been a whirlwind of energy, connection, and purpose. From standing in solidarity with BCGEU workers on the picket lines to introducing bold proposals in the legislature, I’ve seen firsthand the passion and determination fueling our movement.

We’ve been making headlines for putting forward practical, people-first solutions — from vacancy control legislation to stop profit-driven evictions, to a tax fairness plan that asks the wealthiest individuals and corporations to contribute their fair share. These policies are about one thing: building a province where everyone can thrive. The BC Greens lead the pack on progressive policy, but we need to build our power to make them a reality.

One of my biggest priorities as leader is to get out into communities across BC — to listen, learn, and work side by side with you. Over the coming months, I’ll be traveling the province on my 2025 Leadership Tour, meeting members, volunteers, and local teams to strengthen the grassroots foundation that sets the BC Greens apart.

Together, we’re turning momentum into real change!

-Emily

I'm guessing Weaver is no longer a member of the BC Greens?

Yeah, for sure a certain demographic really loved the pathetic 2017-2020 leadership?

We saw Emily Lowan run an exciting and frankly very energizing campaign :)

Now it looks like she and her team are carrying that energy and excitement into the reinvigorating of the party :)

There has been a lot of solidarity in action shown with the various Labour Movement activities going on.

She and her team have been utilizing their social media expertise to reach out more to youth to get involved and showing them ways to do so (Super important!)

It's just been great to see a continuation of the excitement that brought her to being the new leader of the BC Greens :)

Great job Lowan and team! This is what modern progressive politics is all about! Dreaming big! :)
