Today in Camden, on International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, we’re re-affirming our commitment to:
⭐ address inequalities
⭐ build our communities’ strength
⭐ promote diversity and inclusion across our borough
Today (15 March) is International Day to Combat Islamophobia.
In Camden our diversity is our strength and we stand against Islamophobia, and discrimination and hate in all its forms – Camden is #NoPlaceForHate
So heartening to receive letters from students at Brookfield School encouraging more support for refugees and celebrating their school’s welcoming of new refugees.

Today we unveiled a plaque to one of the most inspiring activists to have lived. Hearing stories from those who knew her as a human and not just what she stood for was emotional & anchoring. To have the blessings of her close friend on what I’m doing was the icing! #Claudiajones
