Our research report showed that 75% of migrants have NEVER met an employee from the same background as theirs in their local council. Migrant voices are rarely heard in local policy development. Read our report for more insights and recommendations: www.socialequity.org.uk/our-research

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!
