Durham Pride: A Great Show Of Solidarity

Trade Unions from all over the country descended on Durham Pride to send a massive signal to the Reform-controlled local authority, that their attacks on the LGBT+ community will not be tolerated. The withdrawal of funding by Reform for Durham Pride was the spark for a great show of solidarity and a wonderful celebration, with thousands of people attending to support Durham Pride. And what made it possible was the trade unions, a point that CWU NEC LGBT+ Lead Maria Exall made strongly when she addressed the crowds.

There was a really good show of support from the North East region with many CWU Branches represented. Solidarity and unity will always win the day over division and intolerance.
