ALT Graphic with text: We stand united against racism and Islamophobia. Over the last week, we have seen racial and Islamophobic violence, aggression and intimidation that cannot be justified. Our city and wider district has a rich history of welcoming people from across the world to make Bradford District and Craven their home. We have stood strong in the face of people who want to cause division among communities. We are now calling for that show of strength so that we can continue to show that we will welcome anyone who wants to be part of a vibrant, diverse and compassionate place. We must continue to stand firm against racism in all its forms, we must continue to call out behaviour that goes against our common human values and we must continue to look out for each other. And we must continue to go about our daily lives, while making sure we take any necessary steps to keep ourselves and others safe.
