What do you say when someone makes it clear they think the violence, racism and Islamaphobia we’re seeing on our streets might be justified?

Such a great piece by my colleague Claire on why and how we need to have that courageous conversation

Happening tomorrow night - still a few places if you'd like to come along!

So a guy flies in to a bar...

Here's the story of what happened when some bloke popped out to his local for a quick pint.

In a helicopter.

And then someone who'd done our climate conversations training decided to say something.

Larger Us was born in East Jerusalem five years ago this month – and today, things are worse than ever.

Is there any hope for a larger us instead of the horrific them-and-us dynamics we’re witnessing in the Middle East?

[Alex Evans / @alexevansuk.bsky.social @alexevansuk]

How did an apparently settled cross-party consensus on net zero give way this suddenly to both Labour and the Conservatives backing away from their climate commitments?

And what can climate campaigners do about it?

[Climate Outreach @ClimateOutreach]

What's the role of ‘opponents’ in the climate narrative? Should we be thinking in these terms at all?

Explore these q's at this Inter-Narratives event, with our colleague @noorafiraq & other speakers from @NEON_UK @CCRI_UK @LargerUsNetwork.

Our latest case study in larger us change-making is out!
