Proud to add my name supporting @JacquiMckenzie6 in the wake of the Home Office’s smear campaign against her. The Govt's attack on lawyers is a clear attempt to deflect from their unlawful immigration policy. You can sign your name in support here: https://t.co/bNpa8halF0

Our CEO @WandaWyporska signed this letter urging the Welsh Government to commission a review. “We believe that these issues are not limited to the Met Police. We call upon the Welsh Government to conduct a similar urgent review of the police and criminal justice system in Wales”
A review into concerns about racism within Welsh police forces should take place urgently, according to a coalition of anti-racist and trade union groups. ✍@ShiptonMartin

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary
#Afriphobia is still manifesting deeply across society, anti-black racism needs a wider awareness via training to root it out of society. This would be a start, but more importantly, wider policies are needed!
