The Young Greens are the youth wing of the Green Party for any student or resident of Ireland aged 16-30 who supports social justice, sustainability, grassroots democracy, and peace.
The Young Greens believe in social and economic justice for all as well as environmental sustainability for the future. As a youth branch we also prioritise issues that affect young people disproportionately including education, housing, drug use, and reproductive rights. The group has contributed enormously to the growth and direction of the wider party – from being the first youth political section to adopt a platform of support for equal marriage in 2002, to fighting hard and succeeding in a campaign against the imposition of third level fees in 2009, to guiding the wider party into full support for women’s bodily autonomy and reproductive rights in 2015.
