Community leaders in alliances like @tynewearcitizen, @LeedsCitizens, Liverpool Citizens & many more are reaching out to mosques, migrant organisations, neighbours and friends to offer support. We must keep organising together for inclusion, justice and the common good.
From London to Wales, Essex to Manchester, Brighton to Birmingham and everywhere in between. Our communities stand together for solidarity and justice. There is no place for hate here.

Statement from our collective Citizens UK chapters. We know our own alliance in Cardiff is not immune to the consequences of the violence and hate enacted in the last few days, and we stand in solidarity with all those affected. Hate has no place here.
Citizens UK’s diverse coalition of civil society leaders and organisations stand united against all forms of hate and violence. We unequivocally condemn the racist and Islamophobic attacks seen across England over the last few days. (1/4)

Most men in the UK only got the right to vote in 1918 with the Representation of the People Act. Women over 21 only got the right to vote in 1928. Your vote is precious and has been hard-won. Your vote matters. Do vote! #ThisIsWhatAPriestLooksLike

We couldn't agree more with our favourite Butetown head teacher. #vote
I will never take for granted being able to vote - it’s a real privilege. Whatever result we wake up to tomorrow, I hope the percentage of people exercising their right to vote is high. Naive perhaps … but heartfelt @JoCoxFoundation @CardiffCitizens @SouthCardiffMA

"When I moved into my Council home, there was mould on the walls that has now spread to every room, which impacts my health. The next Government must introduce a UK-wide home repair & upgrade strategy to make our homes safer, healthier, & greener," Helen @CardiffCitizens
