Thank you to everyone who joined me at my event yesterday to remember Jo Cox and raise money for the Jo Cox Foundation.

Jo Cox was an MP who was sadly murdered on the 16th June 2016 in her constituency doing the work she loved, as an MP committed to helping the public.

Jo was a mother, a friend, a wife and an inspiration to many. Before becoming a politician, Jo worked for Oxfam International.

Yesterday’s event allowed us to remember where the language and politics of hate leads to and to reflect on our hopes for Wolverhampton as a city.

A huge thank you to the keynote speaker Mahmooda Qureshi from Hope Not Hate.

People who know that it is not enough just to talk about what can make communities stronger or to complain about injustice, indifference or cruelty. #MoreInCommon #LoveLikeJo
