Happy #CommunityTransportWeek!

We celebrated that a little early last week in Parliament. I also spoke against yet more scapegoating of migrants, amplified Challenge Poverty Week, & worked on some more big legislation coming to the chamber. See below 👇
A dark green graphic which reads 'Last Week, I...' in bold white lettering at the top. Below are four bullet points, reading "Spoke against the Scottish Conservatives’ anti-migrant motion, to challenge false & harmful rhetoric; Joined anti-poverty campaigners in Aberdeen to discuss local & national solutions to poverty; Chaired the Cross-Party Group on the WASPI campaign, to ensure WASPI women aren’t left behind; Passed the Criminal Justice Modernisation Bill, which in part aims to prevent domestic abuse-related deaths". To the right is an image of Maggie Chapman MSP standing with a tall man from the Community Transport Association. He has white skin, short black hair, and is smiling directly into the camera. He is wearing a black suit. He is holding one side of a placard, and Maggie is holding the other side. The placard reads "I'm on board for Community Transport Week!"

It's #CommunityTransportWeek 🚐

Community transport is about people as much as it is vehicles. It supports independence, builds friendships and strengthens communities.

#CTWeek25 celebrates how when we help people move, we help communities thrive 👥
