'We've not received any justice.' The #KingsCross3 speak to Channel 4 News about their experience of institutional racism and their concern about the Crown Prosecution Service's inability to differentiate between victims and perpetrators in certain contexts due to it. youtu.be/2zfCTdBElVk?si…

2 men jailed today 4 social media posts that stirred up the recent far-right violence . So why is the BBC interviewing Douglas Murray seated in a Chesterfield spouting the same vile nonsense ? Is a condescending posh accent still a Get Out of Jail Free Card in the UK ?

News today that 7 pro-Palestinian protestors at Elbit are in court for 'terrorist' related activities. But Elbit unashamedly boasts of having field-tested its weapons of destruction in Gaza. Who are the real terrorists? theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…

We need to pressure The Labour Party to help B'ham council to retain the 1000 flats built for the athletes of C'wealth Games for their homeless people rather than sell them at a loss to a pvt developer who will make a huge profit no doubt. theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…

The treatment of the #KingsCross3 is a damning reflection of the institutional racism rampant in the criminal justice system. We are organising a public meeting from 6.30pm onwards on 18 Sept at Conway Hall to call for urgent reform. Join us! Register 👇 eventbrite.co.uk/e/empower-not-…

It was an absolute honour to meet Gita Sahgal in person. 🙏❤️ Thank you, Maryam Namazie مریم نمازی Council of Ex-Muslims of Britain, for hosting this much-needed discussion about countering extreme ideologies, particularly in light of the growing polarisation in our society.

We, the Directors of Southall Black Sisters, Women for Refugee Women 🧡, Latin American Women's Rights Service - LAWRS, Safety4Sisters and Imkaan, submitted a list of 12 demands to Prime Minister Keir Starmer UK Prime Minister on behalf of 65 third sector orgs today to urge govt to tackle the root causes of far-right riots. 1/2

We are disappointed by Labour’s resort to the harmful narrative of ‘stop the boats’ and their deepening of the hostility against vulnerable migrants through committing to increased removals instead of to increased safe routes. 1/3 theguardian.com/politics/live/…

Such anti-immigrant policies and rhetoric aggravate risks for migrant communities. At a time when migrant communities are more unsafe than ever in the face of the far-right riots, there is an urgent need for the use of rights-based language and concrete steps to build trust. 2/3

In our list of demands to Prime Minister Keir Starmer submitted to UK Prime Minister yesterday, we call on the govt to reject the alarmist language around immigration and to end the hostile environment. 3/3 southallblacksisters.org.uk/news/demands-f…

With 103 other frontline orgs providing advice to migrants, we have signed a letter led by JCWI and Haringey Migrant Support Centre 🧡, calling on Yvette Cooper Home Office to urgently reform discriminatory policies on immigration and to address the divisive, racist rhetoric around it.

I know I'm becoming ancient 😪 when I am invited to participate in two oral history projects in the same week.
