This week, The /together Coalition attended the launch of the British Muslim Network: a new initiative dedicated to fostering unity, representation and collaboration within the Muslim community. With the beginning of #Ramadan, this event held even greater significance, reminding us of the importance of coming together to celebrate diversity, amplify voices, and build bridges across #communities. 🕌 ✨

We're excited to be facilitating a new independent commission on community and cohesion, as covered here by The Guardian, that will seek to explore how we live well together in our communities. This commission, launching in the spring, aims to ask the difficult questions, to engage the public and to try to come up with a shared vision for community connectedness and cohesion. Rebuilding community life and addressing threats to cohesion are unfortunately issues that have been ignored for too long. We are planning to engage with millions of people across the country for ideas on how we can improve community connection and cohesion through this important piece of work.

Earlier this week, we saw the perpetrator of the Southport attacks pleading guilty to three counts of murder and ten of attempted murder, along with two terror-related charges. Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, Bebe King, six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, were horrifically killed, and our thoughts remain with their families and loved ones. This guilty plea at least spares survivors having to go through all the details again but of course it doesn't take any of the pain away. What matters most now is getting justice done and respecting the memories of the victims. The statement below is an unprecedented show of solidarity with with families from other families who have gone through similar things—but it’s also a call for anyone thinking of using these murders to incite hatred or violence not to do so. - Brendan Cox, cofounder of The /together Coalition, Survivors Against Terror, and one of the signatories of the letter.
