Great spending some time with Austen Ivereigh this evening reflecting on synodal organising!

Great to have ⁦Vincent Rougeau⁩ help ⁦Citizens UK⁩ reflect on the need to connect catholic social teaching and community organising more intentionally. Looking forward to more work together.

Alinsky was kind of right…

Looking forward to looking at this with a team of Organisers from across the South East of England today…

Child poverty = an issue many edu leaders are angry about Housing costs = major contributor to child poverty Proud to be working with @VarndeanSJBaker CNCS Ms Jarman William Baldwin @BHASVICteaching to address this in Brighton. Their leadership is what we call #CivicLeadership Leora Cruddas CBE

Great to hear more about the vision of Christ Church and how it aims to be an institution that serves the whole city of Oxford. Exciting times ahead, Luke Bretherton.

We’re looking for a Director of Transformation to join our team. Over the last few years we’ve worked with over 100 schools to better support children and families. We need someone who can help us take this work to national scale. Interested? 👇🏽 thereachfoundation.hrpartner.io/jobs/director-…

Lots of people organising via social media in Syria, post toppling of the Assad regime. Great to see but let’s hope things get anchored in face-to-face tactics. Big missed opportunity of Arab Spring was that people mostly relied on social media. Sustainable power was never built.

*Very* unusual for a pope to do this. Magisterial in tone and form (numbered paragraphs, quoting papal teachings) and targeted (referring to Trump policies and Vance’s justifications), this letter is meant to leave no doubt about where the Church stands. vatican.va/content/france…

If you child watches TikTok (or if you do), you should know what TikTok's own employees and consultants say about the many ways TikTok harms children. We collect stunning quotations from them at After Babel: afterbabel.com/p/industrial-s…

You would not believe the quotations we have from inside TikTok. They know what they are doing to children including the addiction ("compulsive use") and attention fragmentation. You've got to read the quotations yourself: afterbabel.com/p/industrial-s…

Today, we remember Pope Francis as an extraordinary leader who exercised power with humility, eschewed the trappings of pretense and prestige, and recognized the dignity of all persons, especially the poor and most vulnerable: swiaf.org/2504_wsw_legac…

Hugely grateful to Austen Ivereigh for the support and fellowship today. Much appreciated! Campion Hall

This time, 2 weeks ago, I was on my way to Rome, with a delegation of Citizens UK leaders from Tyne & Wear Citizens TELCO CITIZENS Brighton & Hove Citizens South London Citizens to meet Pope Leo XIV. A truly wonderful moment of celebration, recognising decades of Community Organising across the UK.

Came across this passage describing the social housing building I lived in for the first few years of my life… some things haven’t changed, by the look of it.

Hey, Grok, who was the most famous person to visit my profile? It doesn't need to be a mutual, don't tag them, just say who it was.
