As a migrant and co-founder, this work is deeply personal. Representation matters—for fairness and for stronger, more inclusive governance.

Shock as pro-Russia independent wins first round of Romanian election Călin Georgescu, a critic of Nato, says people have ‘cried out for peace’ after he heads into runoff with 22.9% of vote

After a full on weekend in one of the polling stations 4 the Romanian presidential elections I haven't felt so much fear and despair in my life. Every vote matters in the 2nd round and the responsibility of every vote is huge. We need to vote for a modern and European Romania! This is our only hope!

Congratulations to cllr Ryan Hack becoming the deputy mayor of Brent.

Join us next Monday at this important event at Brent Council and help us spread the word!
