At this year’s Green Party Conference in Brighton (6-8 October 2023), Cllr. Amanda Onwuemene (Birkenhead & Tranmere), one of Wirral's 13 Green councillors, received a standing ovation for her speech alongside Tyrone Scott, Chair of Greens of Colour. Amanda also spoke on the Police Committee beside Jenny Jones and others, answered questions from the audience, and was elected onto the Equality and Diversity Committee.

Adrian Ramsay, Co-leader of The Green Party says: “My impressive colleagues Tyrone Scott and Amanda Onwuemene delivered an incredible speech on how we Greens are the party to represent marginalised communities, we celebrate difference and are welcoming and supportive to everyone”.
