We Make Camden
Camden and our partners have continued to deliver for Camden by investing in our communities and public services. Services and organisations that we believe are vital in creating a borough that is fair and equal. The pandemic emphasised the need to make it easier and more affordable for everyone to stay healthy and to access food, education, good housing, and well-paid work. And we must do this in a way that helps us meet our ambitions to be a zero[1]carbon borough by 2030. This will mean transforming the way we live, work, travel, learn, and work, building on the work of our Citizens Assembly on Climate Change and the grassroots community climate activism in Camden
The pandemic saw the importance of accessible local high streets, community connections and clean, green local space. Camden’s pandemic response saw our schools play a vital role as our children and young people experienced deep destabilisation – to their learning, socialising, their ambitions and ideas for their futures. We saw the impact of insecure, low paid work as many were left without a safety net. Our economy needs to change to one where everyone is able to access the security of good work.
The last few years have seen Camden put its full weight behind tackling structural injustice and racial inequality, and to being an anti-racist borough. The disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on our Black, Asian and other ethnic communities and the Black Lives Matter movement have reinforced the strength of our belief that racism, misogyny, and gender-based discrimination, ableism, homophobia, and transphobia have no place in Camden and we will do all we can to tackle both individual prejudice and systemic injustice in our communities.
