‘It’s about time for more rights for rainbow families’
Our son turned eighteen. Because of the corona crisis, there wasn't much of a celebration, but he seems to like the idea of being an adult. However, his joy is nothing compared to ours, his parents. The fact that we were able to help a son grow up can be called a...

Eliza Rutynowska: “The Polish populist government considers the LGBTI+ community as an ‘enemy of the state’ and treats them as such.”
The European Parliament recently (18/12/2019) adopted a resolution condemning discrimination and hate speech against LGBTI people. More specifically, it targeted the 'LGBT-free zones' that many Polish authorities have proclaimed. Belgian cities such as Ghent, Leuven...
Magda Aelvoet: “Introducing same-sex marriage has changed the lives of many people in a positive way. It’s nice if you can do that as a politician.”

Ed Davitt: “The Irish referendum for marriage equality was won door-to-door…”
Ed Davitt is an Irishman living in Belgium, whom I actually first met in Poland. It can't get much more international than that, can it? Ed has recently moved back to Brussels and works there for a Green MEP. He works a lot and is very passionate about it, but in his...
Joyce Teng: “The fight was very uneven and yet I know I would go for it again.”

Groen in Brussel
De Groenen zijn in Brussel meer dan dynamisch: we voeren actie, organiseren colloquia en trekken geregeld naar de Brusselaar om die om zijn of haar mening te vragen. Zo bouwen we samen aan een betere stad.
Bovendien hebben we in het Brussels Parlement 3 parlementsleden, zit er één Brusselse Groene in het Vlaamse Parlement en zijn we ook goed vertegenwoordigd in de 19 gemeenteraden. In Etterbeek, Jette, Molenbeek en Schaarbeek zitten we mee in de meerderheid, elders voeren we op een constructieve manier oppositie. Onze Groene raadsleden werken daarbij nauw samen met hun Ecolo-collega’s.
Verder is er een dynamische Jong Groen-afdeling en organiseert de GroenPlus-groep (voor de iets oudere Groene Brusselaars) zijn eerste activiteiten. Voor elk wat wils, samen maken we er werk van.
