🌈❤️A great day for Pride ❤️🌈 This festival has shone in Birmingham for nearly thirty years, and its message is just as important as it has ever been. Perhaps even more so in the current climate. It’s our different communities that make us what we are. We all deserve to feel seen, and be represented.

Last night I visited the Ramadan Streets event @birminghamcityfc.bsky.social and highly recommend it. In only its second year it’s fast becoming part of the community calendar. Events like this show what our football clubs can be at their best - places that bring the whole community together.

I’m backing the Birmingham Balti to be given UNESCO protected status. When you think of the Balti you think of Birmingham - and I think that’s something to be proud of, protected, and internationally recognised.

I’m investing £75 million in training up 12,000 young people so that they can get access to jobs or become apprentices. Apprentices like Joe, Freddie, and Aimee at Seddon who I met recently at the Millennium Centre project in Friar Park.

The sleeves-rolled up community spirit in Birmingham won’t make headlines. But it’s the backbone of this region, I’m proud of it and I wish the media would spend a little more time talking about it.

I’m so proud to see #PeakyBlinders: The Immortal Man premiere in the #WestMidlands. It’s a homecoming in more than one way. It was filmed here, produced here, and written by a good friend to me and the region, Steven Knight. Wishing all those involved with the premiere all the best of luck.

Last week, I joined Skills Minister Jacqui Smith at Xcelerate with Edgbaston, a fantastic hub helping young people gain real experience in hospitality. We met Kundai, a Commis Chef, who trained through our Path 2 Apprenticeship programme. By investing in our youth, we're investing in our future.

I’m committed to helping the next generation into rewarding careers. At Freightliner I saw the enormous size and scale of the logistics sector and the vital role it plays in the West Midlands. Working with partners like Generation Logistics unlocks these kinds of jobs for young people.

Our high streets need backing. I’m funding a Street Food Incubator Pilot at Herbert’s Yard with Digbeth Dining Club and the Nationwide Caterers Association - giving local traders the skills and support to grow from first stall to first shop. That’s how we grow our night time economy.

A fantastic Vaisakhi celebration in Smethwick today. The West Midlands is stronger because of the communities and cultures that make this region what it is. Proud to be Mayor for every part of our region.

Air pollution and climate risks fall hardest on those with the least power to avoid them — that is a driver of health inequality. Strategic authorities must align every decision on transport, housing and planning with our legal climate and clean air duties. #CleanAir #ClimateJustice

It was wonderful to join Dr. Pineda & the Center for Independent Living in Berkeley to celebrate their 54th anniversary and be with so many leaders, activists, and mentors. The CIL's work and partnership has been invaluable for me as I continue the long fight for disability justice in Congress.

The most tragic aspect of CCP rule is that many ordinary Chinese people cannot afford a grave, lack comprehensive social security, and struggle to access healthcare, yet over the past century, the CCP has consistently ranked among the world's top foreign aid donors.

Former Confederate states are trying to lock Black and Brown Americans out of political power.

The daily life of a fire lookout [🔥 Micah Schwepler / theschweplerlife] Original post

Conservative Supreme Court justices just gutted the Voting Rights Act, a move designed to silence Black and brown voters and keep power in Republican hands. Silence cannot fix this. Congress can. An overwhelming Democratic victory in the midterms is the first step and a moral imperative.

James Talarico: There was a promise made by the president during his campaign that he wasn't gonna start any more wars, and now he's started multiple wars just in the first year of his administration. I can sympathize with the disillusionment that some of the folks in the MAGA movement are feeling.

Luxury money does not wait for crisis. It moves early. It studies the land. It studies the laws. It studies the pressure. It studies the government. It studies where people are desperate, priced out, distracted, or still calling it “paradise.” Then it buys the future before regular people
