A notepad lies open on a wooden table. Scrabble tiles spell out “CALL TO ACTION.” A coffee cup, glasses, and phone sit nearby. Text above the image reads: Our Call to Action • Demand masking as an access measure • Center disabled and high-risk survivors in ALL anti-violence work • Stop treating public health as personal preference Take Back the Night should mean all of us — not just the healthiest. Logos in the corners.

7/7 We ask our community to stand with us — and with everyone who’s being left behind.

We all deserve to grieve, rage, and heal together. But true solidarity means showing up for everyone — not just the able-bodied.

A group of South Asian women are gathered outdoors, many wearing colourful fabric masks. One woman holds a hand-written sign that says: “Community Care is Masking!” Text above the image reads: “On August 13, we contacted Take Back the Night London organizers to ask: • Will you adopt a ‘masks requested’ policy for this year’s event? • What accessibility training will be provided for staff/volunteers? • How will disability and survivorship be centred in programming? Our goal was simple: to ensure disabled and immunocompromised people aren’t left behind.” Logos for COVID-Safer London and London Reproductive Justice are in the corners.

3/7 We followed up on Aug 23. No reply.
Lead organizer returned on the 25th. Still silence.

We followed up again on Aug 28.
The response? “We don’t have a formal answer yet. Maybe next week.”

The event is less than 3 weeks away.
