I’m putting another Bwindi coffee and honey order in soon. Let me know if you’re interested (a direct message is best). All proceeds to their amazing locally-led work in Uganda

Can poetry improve primary geography outcomes? In the new issue of Primary Geography, Michael Rosen, Anjali Patel, and Ben Ballin discuss how combining verse with mapwork boosts vocabulary, graphicacy, and fieldwork skills. By focusing on personal geographies, schools involved in the project saw a major rise in confidence among reluctant writers/ This article is free only to GA members who have subscribed to receive Primary Geography.

Never ever forget!

Tomorrow the Court of Appeal rules on the ban of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation. In February, the High Court ruled the ban unlawful. The Government decided to appeal this decision and police have continued to arrest people who have peacefully opposed the ban. Amnesty International has intervened in this case because the Palestine Action ban was a grave misuse by the government of sweeping counter terror powers.

🚨BREAKING: Filton 4 sentenced as terrorists Amnesty opposes the use of terrorism powers in this case. It is completely disproportionate to punish protesters for criminal damage as if they were terrorists, a sentence which stays with you for life. The defendants in today’s case were sentenced as terrorists because prosecutors want to make an example of them. Today's decision shows how direct action protesters could be treated in the future. The use of terrorism laws against direct action protesters must end. Together we must continue calling out the abuse of power and fighting for our right to protest.

🚨The recent images of Dr. Hussam Abu Safyia are shocking evidence of Israel's abuse against Palestinian detainees. Dr. Abu Safyia has been arbitrarily detained for one and a half years without charges, while being physically abused and denied healthcare. His recent solitary confinement adds a further layer of concerns over his deteriorating health. Dr. Abu Safyia must be immediately and unconditionally released. Israel must release all Palestinians arbitrarily detained. States must pressure Israel to stop abusing Palestinian prisoners. #FreeDrHussamAbuSafiya

I think about this every day. In the Netherlands, if a person dies alone, without any family or friends as mourners, a poet will be sent to write a poem and read it at the burial service. It's called the Lonely Funeral Project, and it's just humans being good humans.

Entire Palestinian communities are disappearing from the map. This is not an accident. It’s by design. New Amnesty research exposes the scale of Israel’s campaign of ethnic cleansing and unlawful annexation in the occupied West Bank. Our new report details how Israel’s ethnic cleansing campaign is state-led, and state-sponsored, not driven by rogue settlers or so-called extremist ministers. We’re calling on all states, including the UK, to halt all trade, cooperation and investment relations enabling unlawful occupation, apartheid, ethnic cleansing and impose sanctions on implicated officials Read on: amn.st/6011B8Nr0B

I thought that if Israeli soldiers or settlers attacked Christian villages, the Christian world would unite in their millions in condemnation that their sacred sites were being burnt and erased.

This hasn’t gone viral the way it should. Jamie Corry, an Irish lad from east Belfast, has lost his home of 13 years after masked rioters set fire to cars outside and it engulfed his house in last night’s violent chaos. He stood right there and begged one of them: “This is my house. This is my house.” They didn’t care. They burned it anyway. “They’ve done it to one of their own.” These racist, uneducated thugs and street urchins destroy everything in their path. They don’t care who gets hurt: locals, families, their own community. Just mindless arsonists ruining innocent lives with no excuse.

Hate speech is a growing threat to peace & security. It divides communities, dehumanizes entire groups, and sets the stage for bloodshed. We must break this outrageous cycle through education, support for those targeted by abuse & stronger interventions by governments & technology companies.

Absolutely astonishing that there has been a two day racist pogrom in Northern Ireland and @Keir_Starmer hasn’t called a COBRA meeting. QWHITE revealing!

“When you go to Israel and you see, as I went in 2012 was the last time I was there, and you see how Palestinians are treated, that for me was the door opening, the blind being lifted and I saw,” Miriam Margolyes said during a recent Double Down News roundtable discussion with fellow British Jewish cultural figures Michael Rosen and Alexei Sayle. “If people can treat people like that, they are shits, and what they do and say cannot be accepted, cannot be believed. “I saw it with my own eyes and I will never get over that. And that's when I became fiercely pro-Palestinian.” The BAFTA- and Olivier Award-winning actor added: “I suppose in my heart, in my deep heart, I don't believe in a Jewish state. I just don't. I think that people who live there live there, whether they're Jewish or whatever. You just live in a place.” When Rosen pointed out that the Israeli constitution says it’s a Jewish state “for the self-determination of the Jewish people, Margolyes replied: “Well, I don't accept that and I think that should be struck out. Struck out. Not kill the Jews or kill the Arabs. Just kill the borders.”

The genocide in Gaza and the genocide in Lebanon must be stopped

Greta Thunberg explains how speaking up for Palestine is different from speaking up for climate issues. At a conference in Brussels, she said that supporting Palestine is the minimum that people should do for human rights. She also said that, unlike climate activism and many other social causes, speaking out for Palestine can often lead to criticism, backlash, or being cancelled.
