Exciting work coming soon 👀

Right now, a third of children in poverty are being denied free school meals — and the teachers feeding them often go hungry themselves. It’s a disgraceful state of affairs that shows the necessity of universal free school meals, writes @DanielKebedeNEU.

Groups at our conference #PublicDisco2024 are trying out an exciting new card game from @JustFairUK about human rights.

Human Rights: Not a game, which has been designed by and for activists and communities, explores everyday human rights and how they are not being met.

“People seeking sanctuary in this country should have their nutritional needs met, and agency over the food they eat. This report reveals that this is not happening, with catastrophic impacts on people’s physical and mental health.”@isabelriceRD @UKSustain https://t.co/Ay3MVUcwZF

Olivier De Schutter, @DeSchutterO the UN Special Rapporteur on poverty has a message this Human Rights Day about why it is so important to ground responses in economic, social and cultural rights.

Listen to what he has to say 🗣️

[Laura @laurafgrace]

This programme is genuinely kick-ass and I can’t stop talking about it
If you work/volunteer/know an organisation in London working for social justice that could use some support and funding to take their campaigns forward this could be a great opportunity for you 💫

🚪When we ask people to leave their feelings at the door - we are refusing to invite them in.

🤝Choosing instead to centre people's lived experience - their humanity - feels like honouring our own.

Our food system is broken. We are not here by accident, we are here by design.
Incorporating #righttofood into our domestic law means building integrated approaches to agriculture, health, welfare that let allow people to build a life, not just an existence

#DignityInAction!

[Amnesty UK @AmnestyUK]

Housing people who have fled terror & conflict in spaces as small as parking spots is disgraceful.

#BibbyStockholm is more than just a boat - it's a stark symbol of the UK's inhuman 'no asylum' policy that's turned its back on human rights.

We demand a fair UK asylum system now
