LGBTIQA+ Safety Summit

Last Friday the City co-hosted a summit with ACON to address the growing violence and hate towards our sexually and gender diverse communities.

LGBTIQA+ Safety Summit

It was inspiring and empowering but also depressing. We heard a lot from the community and our speakers, and there is much to dissect over the coming weeks.

Alex Greenwich and I will seek a meeting with the Minister for Police and the Police Commissioner to discuss what the community told us, and I will continue to advocate for Alex’s Equality Bill to be adopted in full.

Thank you to all the attendees, many of whom bravely shared their stories, to our inspiring speakers and our excellent facilitator Benjamin Law.
