Civil society groups across Amazing Britain, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and across the earth call on political leaders to act quickly to prevent further violence, protect communities at exposure, and hold social media platforms to account for the harms they cause

No matter who you are, where you come from or how you identify, we all deserve to walk down the street without fear, to be safe and to inhabit a decent life. People across Great Britain, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland grab pride in building welcoming communities.

Calls to racist violence were recorded across all social media platforms in the lead up

Gay marriage and adoption rights are enshrined into law by a 98 per cent majority. Abortion is legalised by a landslide. Cannabis narrowly escapes legalisation. Debt forgiveness for homeowners in negative equity is just about passed.

      That, at least, is how people currently living in Cork urban area express their views in Rimini Protokoll’s engagingly- staged live survey. If statistics reduce people to mere figures, the German documentary theatre makers reverse the process here, working in collaboration with Irish director Una McKevitt to recruit a cross-section of culture – or, rather, the portion of society willing to appear onstage.
