Queer Town Hall: Our relationship with Merseyside Police

Our relationship with Merseyside Police & Peter Tatchell’s Apologise Now Campaign

Inspired by input and guidance from local activists, and acknowledging the necessity for constructive dialogue and genuine engagement, Sahir (formerly Sahir House) has launched a Queer Town Hall initiative for the Liverpool City Region. This platform aims to bring our community together to address the issues that matter most to them.

The purpose of our Queer Town Hall is to create a safe and inclusive space for members of the LGBTQ+ community across the Liverpool City Region to come together, share experiences, discuss important issues, and collaborate on solutions. Our goal is to foster a sense of community empowerment, advocacy, and support, while addressing the diverse needs and concerns of queer individuals.

 

“Fostering better understanding and meaningful engagement between our community and Merseyside Police is paramount. Building bridges and fostering authentic dialogue is not only about enhancing safety, but also about nurturing much-needed trust. It’s essential work, especially in the current climate.”

Kat Taylor, LGBTQ+ Engagement Worker, Sahir House
