"Therefore, on Sunday we, with speakers from across different groups and campaigns across Leeds, join in an open discussion about how we can make our streets safer from the word of the public. We want you to come with your own demands for change as well as questions to ask to us and our (soon to be confirmed) speakers.
"This is the start of a series in exposing the dangerous hotspots of assault in Leeds. We are starting with Alex Sobel's constituency at 6pm across FB, YouTube and Twitch. All links are in our bio. Come and have your say and protest with us virtually.
“We need to make the streets safe again and Reclaim the Night."
