“Children’s and refugee organisations are aghast at what’s being proposed. They are not alone. Many of us across all benches … feel the same” Powerful speech against the reintroduction of child detention in the House of Lords this evening by Baroness Nosheena Mobarik


"We pride ourselves on being a nation where children are safe, where their best interests are protected." The Gvmt's cruel plan to lock up refugee kids again will traumatise thousands. As Baroness Nosheena Mobarik said, #ChildDetention must be stopped. bit.ly/464AhNg

🌡️Symptoms of a broken system: 🚫Kids can't access essential funds ❌Simply due to immigration status ❌Despite being born here ❌And decades of parents working & paying taxes London Citizens are taking action because #EveryChildShouldBenefit. bit.ly/3qwEb19



Fantastic morning at @stjohnswaterloo with 100 community leaders from across South London! Together we’re finding solutions to issues like housing, mental health provision, low pay, migration justice and more 🙌🏿🙌🏽 South London Citizens



This is what’s called real engagement. Not questionnaires or digital responses but face to face conversations that take people on a journey to be a part of the solution. Well done South London Citizens South London Listens


🧵Thread on our wonderful South London Listens South East London health assembly "The truth is inequalities in our society are making us sick" A packed house of 475 people and powerful example of what can happens when communities have the power to shape decisions that impact them



Beautiful reflection on organising and solidarity from Grace Akinyemi at last night’s Citizens UK general election assembly “Some of these issues will directly affect our own lives, for the other issues, we care because our neighbour’s struggle is our struggle.”


So proud of Fatiha addressing Angela Rayner, advocating for much-needed changes in TA at Citizens UK #GeneralElection2024 Assembly. Her passion and commitment is truly inspiring!🌟 Also so grateful to have shared our #NoticeUs song with an audience of over 2,000 people✨


Another great meeting with Helen Hayes 💙🌹, storytelling and strategising about fair, effective pathways to Citizenship. Particularly great to have your support in fighting for justice for young migrants in Lambeth and across the country.
