I have been lucky to work with staff at @tynesidecinema many times. They are a brilliant bunch. I am deeply impressed by their progressive, measured, clear and supportive response. I send enormous love, solidarity and courage for the process ahead.

[TynesideCinemaStaff @TynesideStaff]

Our Staff Statement will no longer be updated, but will remain publicly viewable as a declaration of the staff commitment to change and as a framework for building a better and healthier Tyneside Cinema together. (8/8) https://t.co/IlRN7wqedp

We hope that now the cinema will take a commitment to change seriously and will be held publicly accountable, that audience and staff trust can be restored, and that you will once again feel able to love & support Tyneside Cinema. (7/8)

@KateWray7 @tynesidecinema Hi Kate, we think this particular statement needs to come from within the organisation & from those directly affected. However, customers expressing solidarity is v helpful. Customers could start their own petition, or write directly to the CEO/Board to express support. Thank you

[Delphi(ne) ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ @DelphiLievens]

Solidarity to @TynesideStaff and those who have so courageously spoken up. 👏🏽 Sexual assault and harassment are far too commonplace in the U.K. exhibition/distribution industry, and it breaks my heart to say I’m telling you that from my own + others personal experience. (1/2)

[Ed Richardson @Ed_Richardson]

Really saddened to read about this. Tyneside Cinema is a regional & national cultural institution of great value. I hope it takes the decisive action required to truly address these issues and remedies the current failures for a better future for all

[AngelouCentre @AngelouCentre1]

Standing in solidarity with any women of colour affected by this and any staff that have been subject to sexual abuse and harassment. Thank you @TynesideStaff for making a collective stand- We Rise
