Ahead of the West Midlands Mayoral election on May 6th, MV has written to all the Mayoral candidates to convey the views of our migrant members on their priorities to make the region a better place to live.
These member priorities focus on the topics of integration, positive messaging and support for undocumented migrants and EU nationals.
We have asked the candidates for their views on our members’ key asks, and to support our members' vision for the future of the West Midlands. We will share relevant responses publicly so that citizens and voters in the West-Midlands can see the candidate’s opinions in full.
Furthermore, we have asked the candidates to pledge to use positive messaging around all migration issues during their campaign (and if elected while in office), and to use their voice to raise these issues with party colleagues.
Please see the document of key asks here.
Feel free to use the document to send to candidates when contacting them or asking questions of them. You can find all the candidates and their contact details here.
