This event was held before the date of the EU Referendum in June 2016, in order to provide an opportunity for a discussion on how the EU referendum results will impact BAME communities in Bristol and nationally. BSWN ensured that the panel was balanced and held speakers from both Remain and Brexit supporters.
Black South West Network in partnership with Up Our Street organised a Mayoral Hustings in April 2016, to look specifically at issues of race equality in Bristol. The event was held in the Fielden Theatre at the City Academy, in Bristol's ward with the highest percentage of BAME residents, and at a school that has 70% of its cohort from BAME communities.
