๐ซฑ๐ป๐ซฒ๐พ Iโve been clear that growing our party by reaching more diverse communities - and bolstering support for underrepresented folks within our party - is a top priority for me. Thatโs why Iโm so chuffed that LDCRE are backing me.
๐ That means meeting underrepresented communities where they are, expanding our candidate mentoring programmes for folks from underrepresented groups, ensuring dedicated approval days for potential candidates from underrepresented groups, relentlessly fundraising for candidate bursaries (e.g. the Stellar programme that I benefited from) and more.
๐๐พ While Iโm proud to be the partyโs first Black MP elected as a Lib Dem - and the first Black Lib Dem councillor in my hometown too - Iโll work damn hard to make sure Iโm not the last. That commitment extends to other underrepresented groups too.
โญ๏ธ Iโm determined to work with the likes of LDCRE, the Racial Diversity Campaign, Lib Dem Women, the Campaign for Gender Balance, LGBT Lib Dems, the Lib Dem Disability Association and YL to drive greater diversity at all levels of our party.
