Eliza's story is in Notts Live today. Her essential personal care has been cut as a result of Labour cllrs voting for a 'review' of high needs care packages.

This is the human impact of cuts to public services. Disabled residents & unpaid carers deserve better & I'll keep amplifying their voices.

Before I was a cllr I worked for several women's shelters. Now, I often handle domestic violence cases & I couldn't do it without my caseworker, Tamia. She always goes the extra mile behind the scenes. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month & I want to thank her for the hidden work she does 🤍

Snapshots of summer in the ward🌻

Everything from filling potholes, street clean-ups & fighting evictions with ACORN Union...

...to refreshing disabled parking spots, celebrating community centres & checking in on elderly residents during the heatwaves.

No two days are the same in this job!🏘♻️👷🏾

Know Their Names. Yesterday, the names of 18,500+ Palestinian children murdered in the Gaza genocide were read aloud in the city centre, from morning till midnight. I'm used to public speaking but the words have never felt heavier.

Gratitude to Bridgford Muslim Action Group & others for organising🇵🇸

When Claremont Primary Wellbeing Ambassadors wanted to help their lonely classmates, we found a way to bring their idea to life. W/ the help of Selco, parents, some paint & pupils, 2 new friendship benches were recently unveiled🎨🫂

Always here to support my youngest residents to make change happen!

The headlines show us division; Notts comes together:

•Celebrating refugee week & 25 years of Refugee Forum. I've also been supporting asylum seekers to access fresh food & financial support.

•Counter-protesting the far right✊🏽

•Speaking to a 2000-strong crowd at the East Mids march for Palestine

Solidarity on a purple picket line 💪🏾💜

Healthcare Assistants are the backbone of our hospitals. They've just finished a fresh wave of strike action to demand pay they're owed from way back in 2019. So inspired by these determined women! Let's support #PayFairforPatientCare

This week I caught up with Young Musicians for Palestine at their latest gig. Since meeting them last July they've raised over £5.5k for mutual aid projects in Gaza. Last week, myself & others spoke at the march for Palestine about steps towards divesting from arms companies #stopthegenocide

It's Spring & green things are afoot🌱
