Green graphic shows a picture of Maggie wearing a green top and black skirt standing next to a smiling person also in green and black. They are both holding a placard that reads "Includem: transforming lives". Next to this image is the text: "Last week, I: Called for urgent Legal Aid reform to ensure survivors of domestic abuse have access to justice; Discussed how to improve the welfare of animals used in scientific research with the SSPCA; Heard from LGBTQIA+ community members about regression of their rights & the impact on their lives; Stood in solidarity with asylum seekers & local residents in Aberdeen against racism, hate & fear"
Last week I reaffirmed @scottishgreens.org' commitment to legal aid reform to ensure survivors of domestic abuse can access justice.
I was pleased to discuss animal welfare with the SSPCA & those seeking to ban greyhound racing in Scotland.
