She highlights policies aimed at preventing violence and abuse, particularly alarming in relation to allowing minors to attend the event. Berry's open letter, co-signed by various organizations, points to potential risks that the concert may pose to local survivors and the wider community.
Berry emphasized that allowing Manson to perform contradicts Brighton's community values and risks fostering an environment of fear, violence, and abuse, particularly concerning youth.
In her letter, Berry articulated that despite the importance of freedom of expression, the concert poses risks to community cohesion and contradicts equalities obligations.
