Over recent days we have seen evidence of racism and Islamophobia. We stand in solidarity with communities who have faced intimidation directly or who now feel less safe.
The places and communities affected will need support to repair the harm caused by this weekend’s violence.
ALT The racist violence we have seen this weekend has been devastating, and we stand in solidarity with migrant and minoritised communities who have faced intimidation directly or who now feel less safe going about their lives. Over recent days we have seen clear evidence of racism, fascism and Islamophobia on our streets and online. There can be no excuse for anyone perpetrating, inciting or seeking to justify these actions.
Important to support our communities who have family being targeted in the riots and violence that have been seen across the country @commworks_org

We Love Because They Can't
With its roots in protest, Pride has always been about campaigning for global LGBTQIA+ human rights, and this year’s Brighton & Hove Pride Campaign – We Love Because They Can’t – raises awareness of the oppressive laws in countries that prohibit their LGBTQIA+ citizens from enjoying the fundamental freedoms and rights that many of us take for granted.
Check out the campaign across the city now on lampposts and in the city-centre Jubilee Library.
The campaign aims to shed light on injustices, mobilise support, and advocate for change, ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity, can live freely and authentically.
LGBTQIA+ Rights: Hard Won – Easily Lost
