[Cllr. Una O'Halloran @UnaOHalloran]

Islington, Hackney & Haringey have been shaped by migration. We support the progress that's been done for migrants & refugees, but urge for more humanity. Migrants are valued members of our community. Let's foster a narrative of unity and cohesion, not division.

This year, Cllr Jackson seeks to continue to champion youth engagement and mental health awareness during his mayoral year, supporting @isgiv as his chosen charity.

[Islington Labour 🌹 #OnYourSide @IslingtonLabour]

As a Borough of Sanctuary, we welcome the positive steps taken by this government like ending the Rwanda asylum plan, and extending move-on support for migrants and refugees. But we won't pander to divisive rhetoric. Islington Labour stands with all our residents.

#OnYourSide🌹

[UN Human Rights @UNHumanRights]

This #InternationalWomensDay, we demand more than celebration — we demand action. ✊💜

Being born a woman should not be a barrier. Yet, from legal discrimination ⚖️ to economic inequality 💰, millions of women and girls face systemic exclusion every day.

It’s time to demand change — now. #HerRightsOurFuture 🚺🌍

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

NEW | Agency workers will now be included in the zero hours contracts ban.

We've campaigned for this for years.

Huge win for agency workers - and great news for ANYONE who cares about fighting insecure work.

[Trades Union Congress @The_TUC]

BREAKING 🚨 | 34% of women are more likely to be on zero-hours contracts than men.

Women earn £10 per hour less than men when on zero-hours contracts.

BME women are 103% more likely, and disabled women are 49% more likely, to be on zero-hours contracts than white men.

The Employment Rights Bill will help secure gender equality and BAN zero-hours contracts.

As ever, women workers are bearing the brunt - everyone deserves security at work.

[Stand Up To Racism @AntiRacismDay]

We have to both stand against the racism of the far right but also expose the likes of Farage and Robinson to their own supporters for the grifters they are.
