🚨 I spoke to kids from a primary school where 25% of them are homeless, I wanted you to hear directly from them.
Education is the biggest opportunity for children from disadvantaged backgrounds to break free from poverty.
The housing crisis and inaction from Government is denying more than 164,000 kids of this, and new data proves exactly that.
Please share 🙏🏽

A whole year of campaigning to stop the unjust use of rap music as evidence in criminal trials. We’ve got a lot more work to do but we’re proud of how far our scrappy lil team has come and what we’ve managed to achieve and learn in 365 days.
Next year we’re levelling up 📈

If you are working on a case that includes rap music, we implore you to instruct an expert witness.
The prosecution regularly rely on police officers as rap “experts” and without a genuine expert, juries may too readily believe biased and uninformed police opinions...

I was warning and writing about this ten years ago. Its a firm policy to place the poorest people in the cheapest parts of the country so they can be exploited when the warehouses move in - its our industrial policy
