This weekend Councillor Dr. Soryia Siddique found herself the target of online harm - those who wanted to hurt took a piece of a video she made some years ago to help us, to help women in our community. It was cut from a great video where she shared her experience, part of a series of stories of political paths that play a vital role in guiding and supporting other women in their journey towards political office. You can watch it all here https://youtu.be/RTBJf-a-UnE and know that we wholeheartedly support Soryia. And let us be clear and frank - there is a fundamental, ongoing need for DEI in our current political times. It’s a fact not political ideology. AND we don’t accept racist abuse of any kind.
