Opposing All War and All Forms of Hatred

Mayor Katjana Ballantyne stands in opposition to all forms of hate, including xenophobia, antisemitism, and Islamophobia, as she always has done. She has always been against all war. As the child of parents who struggled to survive World War Two, she was raised with the awareness of their loss of family and friends, their forced displacement, their starvation, and their lost homes.
