Dear John,

As you may have seen from our recent job adverts, Liberty has been looking for an Interim Director as I’ll be taking parental leave this autumn.

After a rigorous recruitment process, I’m delighted to announce that Gracie Bradley has been appointed for this interim period and she will be stepping up as Director in October when I go on leave for nine months. 

I’m in the fortunate position of knowing Gracie very well. For the past three years she has been our Policy and Campaigns Manager and we’ve worked together closely on developing the organisation’s strategy. 

Being the Director of Liberty is a sought-after role and we had many brilliant applications and a very competitive field. In every step of the process – and throughout her career at Liberty - Gracie has demonstrated she not only has the experience, intelligence, vision and clarity of thought to lead the organisation, she is also passionate about making the UK a place where everyone is treated fairly, with dignity and respect. 

At such a crucial time in our history, we couldn’t have a better leader to hold the watch on our civil liberties and I’m excited to see where she takes the organisation while I’m away. Please join me in congratulating her on this appointment and welcoming her to the role.  
 
Martha Spurrier,
Director

PS – If you haven’t done so, please sign up to Liberty’s latest campaign to repeal the Coronavirus Act. Times of crisis are ripe for watering down human rights. When the pandemic hit, the Government introduced overbearing legislation – the Coronavirus Act – which gives the state extraordinary powers to restrict our civil liberties. 

We’re campaigning to get this dangerous legislation off our statute books but we have less than two months before the Government’s deadline to review the act. 

Sign the petition to ask Government to get rid of the Coronavirus Act and focus on a response to the pandemic that protects our rights and freedoms.
