   also goes without saying but yeah worth contacting anyone you know who lives in the area to ask them to

   A) Vote

   and

   B) Vote against Pascal.

   It's a local councillor by-election in a seat the Tories dont have a chance in so turnout is going to be low. A handful of votes could easily turn this.

     Furthermore if you live in Hackney in general:

     here is the Hackney Equality Plan Consultation which closes in 3 days where they lay out their commitments against poverty, racism and anti-lgbtqia+ and are looking for feedback.

     Takes less than 3 minutes to fill out the multiple choices and potentially writing in a setence in their final point regarding LGBTQIA+ inclusivity and "recognising failures in allyship".

     update: she lost.

     turns out at the local council level im fine with an anti-LTN tory councillor when the alternative is an obsessively lost the plot to twitter anti-trans councillor.

     hackney council going forward as 50 labour, 5 tory, 2 greens and a labour council mayor.

     like yeah, in this case better Hackney Labour gets their knuckles rapped for picking a vocally transphobic candidate and sit with that failure.

     @benofbrown would be funny to see, ill put money on deafening silence from many who dont want to draw attention to "we heavily lost with a candidate who's one known position was "blackface same as womanface"" and twitter anti-trans trolls going on about how the loss was because she was made to apologise.
