Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire

Today, we’ve launched our new #JustDont campaign, asking men and boys across West Yorkshire to help us put an end to everyday harassment and inappropriate behaviour towards women and girls. This is the latest step in our mission towards a safer West Yorkshire. Will you play your part? Tell your friends: ❌It’s not banter. ❌It’s not harmless. ❌It’s not okay. So, #JustDont

Yesterday, I was proud to stand alongside colleagues at Leeds Pride – celebrating the contributions of our LGBTQIA+ communities!   At West Yorkshire Combined Authority, our PROUD and PROUD Ally Networks are a fantastic source of support for colleagues. Helping us deliver the message that at our place of work, we welcome everyone to be their authentic self.   In West Yorkshire, you’re always free to be yourself and love who you want to love.   As your ally, I will always stand up for the rights of our LGBTQIA+ communities. #LeedsPride #Pride #LGBTQIA

We're on a mission to grow our economy in West Yorkshire. So I'm delighted to see this government taking the brakes off Britain, to give us the tools we need to deliver. 📽 Watch my reaction to the Kings Speech.

We’re getting straight to work with this new government to boost growth and put more money in people’s pockets. Pleasure to host the Chancellor Rt Hon Rachel Reeves and Yorkshire’s mayors yesterday. Together, we can help create a brighter future for all!

It was brilliant to host the Chancellor Rt Hon Rachel Reeves during her first week in post!   As Yorkshire's mayors, we’re working closely with the government to create growth and put money back in people’s pockets.   We’re already cracking on with our Local Growth Plan, and today’s discussion was a helpful chance to ensure we maximise West Yorkshire's contribution to growing the UK economy.   With greater local freedoms and a more formal relationship with the heart of government – we’ll help deliver the change our country needs!   Read more about the visit: https://lnkd.in/eT6-gQVf
