Cardiff Citizens Local Authority Accountability Assembly
Start: Thursday, April 28, 2022•06:00 PM
End: Thursday, April 28, 2022•08:00 PM
Local Authority elections will be held across Wales on 5th May 2022.
On 28th April, in the Weston Studio of the Wales Millennium Centre, Cardiff Citizens and their guests will come together to celebrate the change we have achieved in the last five years and make commitments to the change we hope to achieve during the next five.
Join action teams from across Cardiff in celebrating the success of campaigns such as Cardiff as a Living Wage City, overcoming employment inequality through The Community Jobs Compact, and the successful resettlement of refugees through Community Sponsorship, and hear asks for renewed commitment on these campaigns from those who seek to be the next Leader of Cardiff Council.
Then hear powerful stories and testimony about the current social justice issues that matter most to Cardiff Citizens' members, as we make commitments and asks on issues such as youth violence and knife crime, safe and good quality housing, and buses and transport.
The Accountability Assembly is not a hustings or a question-time – it is an opportunity for the members of Cardiff Citizens to present the issues that matter to them and seek commitments from those who seek to be the Leader of Cardiff Council following the elections.
Cardiff Citizens and Citizens Cymru Wales are a non-partisan organisation, so every effort has been made to invite leaders from all of the major parties to this Assembly.
This Assembly will help us build accountable relationships with these decision-makers, make change on the issues that matter most to our people, and help us work together for social justice and the common good in Cardiff.
We invite all attendees to join our Muslim organisations and community for Iftaar after the Assembly.
We hope that you can join us for what is sure to be an exciting evening.
