"We need to see greater leadership, we need to see government intervention, and we need to see serious change." Empty promises for reform just don't cut it. Our communities need to see real and meaningful change. 🗣️ Our Head of Research @shabnabegum76
‘Drug taking clearly proliferates even at the poshest of schools, but we don’t see police at the gates of Eton do we?’   @ShelaghFogarty and Dr Shabna Beghum point to double standards in the Met’s over-policing of working class and ethnic minority schools.

The Tory Government wants to shift the blame for its failures onto refugees fleeing violence and war. Refugees are not to blame for collapsing living standards, falling wages, or bringing our NHS to its knees. The Tory Government is.

This is abuse of power on steroids, it is such a clear example of the institutional racism that Mark Rowley and his team have chosen to deny. How do they think it feels being confronted with endless examples of our kids being dehumanised? 1/2 theguardian.com/uk-news/2023…

Policing by consent is broken. Those failed by the system must be at the centre of what comes next. Join me tomorrow with guests, including @MajesticMarvina @BarristerAbi & @Nancy_M_K to explore how we design a future that better serves our communities. xitter.gq/i/spaces/1RDGlanbOWOJL

The #SpeakUpLeeds campaign, inspired by the #BlackBoyJoy movement, aims to encourage Black boys to open up about mental health. All Black boys deserve to be seen, heard, celebrated, and valued. It’s ok not be ok, but it’s better to speak up than suffer in silence. #MentalHealth

🔇 The Government wants to shut down 'noisy' protests. 🪧 Noise is at the heart of protest. It's *LITERALLY* how we make ourselves heard. 🗳️ MPs must stand up for protest rights and protect our democracy by voting to scrap this plan this afternoon

Your light shone so brightly that it touched so many of us, impacted the lives of many more, and changed the game forever. And, you are my Brenda’s son. There are no words to describe her heartbreak, our heartbreak, now that your light has gone. Sometimes life is terribly unfair.
