Citizens UK: Birmingham Assembly 2021
Citizens UK: Birmingham Assembly 2021
6pm - 8pm | Thursday 25 March 2021 | Online
In 2019, we carried out an extensive listening campaign to unpack top civil society priorities for the West Midlands regional elections in 2020. Then the Covid-19 pandemic struck, postponing the elections to 2021. We adapted our focus to fighting the spread of the virus & responding to arising community issues. Here’s a short thread on how we organised in 2020.
On Thursday 25th March 2021 at 6pm, amidst celebrating our diversity and sharing powerful stories, we will launch civil society priorities for this year's regional elections at our online Accountability Assembly.

We do not support any political party, but we take voting and community leadership seriously. Our people-powered Assemblies show the importance of civil society to set out a clear agenda for change to public bodies.
