    Last night we held our national Citizens UK General Election Assembly, where community leaders shared testimony and asked politicians from different Parties for change on #LivingWage, #Citizenship, #Housing & more. Here are some of their stories 👇🏾 📸 @SylviePopePhoto

    Replying to @CitizensUK
    On Monday the House of Lords meets to discuss an amendment to the Domestic Abuse Bill, ensuring crimes motivated by gender (misogyny hate crimes) are recorded. This is one important way we can change harmful attitudes towards women. Peers can act for the common good next week ♥️

    From London to Wales, Essex to Manchester, Brighton to Birmingham and everywhere in between. Our communities stand together for solidarity and justice. There is no place for hate here.

    We were so pleased to welcome @KensingtonRoyal to our Parents and Communities Together project @PACTSouthwark. The Duchess of Cambridge spoke to mums about the importance of connecting to other parents, mental health and giving children the best start in life.

    Devastated to announce our founder @NeilJamesonUK has passed away. Our thoughts are with his loved ones. Such a great legacy in UK democracy and social justice, Neil often shared this famous quote - “It is not hope that gives rise to action, it is action that inspires hope”

    Today, we publish our #livingwage league table. It shows just how far some wealthy football clubs have to go to pay a fair wage to all staff

    "A boy wrote in his exercise book that his mother was dead…The mother wasn’t dead. But to him she was because she was so desperate to make ends meet. She was holding down 3 jobs.” We don’t all have the same #24hours of the day when we are paid below the #LivingWage.

    After yrs of organising, all children who are eligible, regardless of parents' immigration status, can claim #FreeSchoolMeals! 🎉 Schools will also be able to claim more #PupilPremium by recording this in the census (Feb 15)! How we got here ⬇️ @IMIX_UK bit.ly/3AZXYIw

    8 in 10 UK universities don't pay their cleaners, security guards and other workers the real #LivingWage Here are the ones who've done the right thing & committed to paying wages that workers can live on. Vital that more universities follow their example!

    You’re looking at footage of Afghanistan and feeling helpless. We are not helpless. We’ve just had 100 Leaders on a call with 6 hours notice showing the readiness of communities to step up. We've stepped up before to create a movement for welcome and we’re going to do it again.
