Today’s team photo...with our fascinating speaker @Salmszee . Her art projects break down barriers, empower women and boost integration. #stopgate #westmidlands #Birmingham
Peace campaigner Patricia Earle gave a moving report on the recent inter-faith service at @AMIOutreach , #Birmingham, which remembered #victims of attacks on worshippers in #NewZealand and #SriLanka.

Looking forward to hearing international artist @Salmszee , founder of the Migration Project, at our steering group meeting in #Birmingham today. The group was founded, like ours, to promote peace across communities in the #WestMidlands. @RefugeeWeek #stophate @anthea_mcintyre
A fascinating meeting. We discussed the problem of hate crime against homeless people...and began laying plans for our next major event, which we hope will be in the Black Country later this year. @anthea_mcintyre @NeenaGmep

As co-chair of the all -party @WMidsTogether I send love and prayers to the good people of New Zealand. We stand with you at this time of sickening violence and blind hated. We must not let this poison take hold, we must never let this evil win.
Events in New Zealand have demonstrated the sickening depths some fanatics will stoop to when driven by blind hatred and irrational fear.
We at West Midlands Together stand with the good people of New Zealand in vowing that this poison must not take hold, this evil must not win.
This has to be one of the most powerful & moving short films on #hatecrime. Well done @Staffs_YC in making this powerful message.

Hate crime is unacceptable and we will not tolerate it in our region. Search 'hate crime' on our website for advice, or you can report it directly to @True_Vision_hc: goo.gl/s7AUXx #NHCAW

Shocked that there have been 5,342 cases of disability hate crime in the West Midlands in the past year why is this the case in 2018.
I believe things need to be done to attempt to stop this type of hate crime & @ypnetworkHerefd will be working to change thus @bbchw @newsynicola
