Emergency Protest this Friday

11:30am, 22nd May
Outside Shire Hall, Warwick Square

The Reform administration at Warwickshire County Council is meeting on Friday to decide whether to consult on cutting funding to the Equality & Inclusion Partnership (EQUIP), which is a local organisation supporting victims of hate crime, handling discrimination cases, and doing great work across the whole equalities spectrum. Their work is vital and Warwickshire Pride works closely with them.

We know that the consultation is a box tick exercise because Reform councillors have already made their mind up. They want rid of EQUIP. This is Reform’s latest attack on equalities as they push forward with their agenda to stop all equalities work at Warwickshire County Council.

Please join us, other people in the community from across the equalities spectrum, and councillors from other political parties as we protest against Reform’s actions. We will then sit in the public meeting to listen to the discussion and decision that Reform makes.

Please attend if you are able to. This is an emergency and we need community power. We will have pride flags to hand to anyone who wants to wave one (because Reform loves a pride flag, right).

Now is the time for direct action and fighting back against Reform’s attempts to withdraw support and erase us.
