On Trans Day of Visibility, our committee reflects on the day, and how this year it feels very different, in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling, among other very well documented attacks on our community. lgbtiqa.greenparty.org.uk/2026/03/31/r...
The background is a gradient of a trans flag. In the middle there is a photo with a person holding up "I'm just as real as you" with a trans flag painted onto the cardboard behind the text. The foreground reads "Reflections on... Trans Day of Visibility 2026" and has a prompt to swipe (though this is more for Instagram's sake).

The imprint on the bottom states the photo is from What The Trans!?. Many thanks again for them letting us use their photos. We also have the legal imprint: Promoted by LGBTIQA+ Greens (Green Party), c/o PO Box 78066, London, SE16 9GQA trans flag gradient border, with black text on a white background. This is page one of the statement. The statement reads: "It’s the 31st March 2026. Trans Day of Visibility. In a bygone era, it was a day where our trans siblings would rejoice, because they finally have a day to be visible. For some, it’s a great day to finally come out to family members - a day to share who they are and to celebrate joy in being themselves, free from parental or societal expectations.

This year, it feels very different. Visibility, it would appear, is a double-edged sword. The same visibility that brings us joy is the same visibility that has made us a target of vitriol and hate, and the subject of political points-scoring. The same visibility that shines a light on our community and our struggles brings us news article after news article, desperately and zealously pushing the public to turn on their peers.

Trans Day of Visibility has become talked about by mainstream politicians, media outlets and institutions, and the consequence is that the day is hollowed out. Some politicians, media outlets or institutions might have good intentions, but a deeply rooted suspicion now exists within the trans community that when it comes to trans rights, it’s a matter of when, not if, the betrayal comes."

At the bottom, the imprint: Promoted by LGBTIQA+ Greens (Green Party), c/o PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQA trans flag gradient border, with black text on a white background. This is page two of the statement. The statement reads: "Visibility has given us so much, but in the current political climate, it’s brought us grief. We observe Trans Day of Visibility despite the attacks that exist on our community. Some of our committee members have spent the lead-up to Trans Day of Visibility desperately trying to prevent a motion brought to Darlington District Council that seeks to use the Supreme Court ruling to justify a ban on some women entering women's spaces. Visibility was not the reason for this attack - prejudice is, though sadly visibility can mean we feel the impact of these attacks more.

As a newly elected committee, on Trans Day of Visibility, we re-affirm our commitment to trans rights. Our trans, non-binary and intersex peers massively depend on the ability for our elected politicians in Council and Parliamentary chambers to deliver for LGBTIQA+ people. Visibility itself is not liberation. We must protect our rights from erosion, and we absolutely will.

Your LGBTIQA+ Greens Committee
Kat, Melissa, Amy, Arran, Branwen, Charlie, Christyn, Em, Jamie, Kenzie, Kris, Sara, Skye & Tiffany"

2,000 Young Greens in the North East! We are so delighted to have hit this milestone, and while it makes us a smaller region than most, it's great to see so many enthused young people who want to make hope normal again. ✊ join.greenparty.org.uk
Dark green background with the various county outlines in the background. On top of this in white is "2,000 North East Young Greens". Tyne and Wear is highlighted Green and has a note next to it that says "(roughly half of which are in Tyne and Wear)". In the top right is a QR to sign up to the Green Party. In the bottom right is the North East Young Greens logo.

This week, I was subjected to a transphobic hate crime. A cis man waited until we were alone before shouting slurs at me. This is the real-world consequence of pundits claiming trans women as a threat to women's safety. That rhetoric doesn't protect women. It emboldens people like him.

Social media is certainly bad for children and young people, but we must remember that Brianna was murdered, in the context of anti-trans rhetoric and hate coming from many, incl. printing presses. This move to brand social media as the issue allows politicians & papers to cleanse their incitement.

Your 2025/26 North East Young Greens Co-Chairs! Our Co-Chairs’ goals this year are to make the regional Young Greens more active. We have co-option spots available on our committee - please reach out to know more. Our email is northeast@younggreens.org.uk Also, join us! join.greenparty.org.uk
A photo of our two co-chairs on Millenium Bridge in Gateshead. Melissa on the left, Darius on the right. Below this, it says "Melissa Harker & Darius Seago: North East Young Greens Co-Chairs"A statement from Melissa: I can't wait to get started as a Co-Chair of the North East Young Greens! It's upsetting to see that the regional Young Greens has been inactive by in large for the last couple years, so I hope to use the limited time that I have within the Young Greens to really kick the regional Young Greens into life, and try and get young people in the region excited to be part of the committee next year. I am hoping to use some of the experience I have in my local party of Gateshead and nationally with committees in the senior party to help in this endeavour. Melissa signs off her statement, and she uses she/they pronouns.A statement from Darius: I'm very happy to have been re-elected for another term. As some of you may know, I'm very keen to be involved with all your Young Green local election campaigns; and this will continue into my second term. Best part of my first term was getting the North East Young Greens active again and the election of two brilliant Young Green councillors. Darius signs off his statement. He uses he/they pronouns.

89% of the world's people want to see governments around the world take more action on the climate crisis. We're the majority. The climate denial of the Tories and Reform is the minority. So, starting this Earth Day, let's speak up and show governments we want climate action NOW.

Trump's advocacy for ethnic cleansing in Gaza - while hosting a man wanted by the ICC for war crimes and crimes against humanity - must not be ignored by Labour. The Government must defend international law, and reiterate Palestinians' right to self-determination.
"The forced movement of a people from their homeland is ethnic cleansing.

The people of Gaza are not obstacles to be removed; they are human beings with the right to live with dignity, security, and self-determination. Britain, and our international allies must today respond in the strongest terms condemning Trump’s reckless remarks."

Ellie Chowns MP, North Herefordshire
