This fundraiser is just getting started, and sharing helps so much in the early days. These women helped support the NHS and now, after decades of service, they need a new minibus to stay connected and cared for. Even if you can't donate, a quick share can help it reach people who may be able to support. gofund.me/b4b345be0

May 25, 2020. George Floyd's death shook the world. Protests in every country. A promise of change for all. But 6 years later — what has actually changed? Just last week in Dublin, Ireland Yves Sakila met his death under similar restraint from security guards. George Floyd’s family says ‘Not enough has changed’. His aunt Angela Harrelson said it best: "When we get to the point where we don't have to say the words Black Lives Matter — that's when we know we have arrived." What are your thoughts? Drop a comment. 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 #georgefloyd #blacklivesmatter

Have no doubt: the campaign to sack Misan Harriman is part of an assault on black figures in public life. We are all expected to take note, for fear of equally stepping out of line. My piece in today's Guardian theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Toni Morrison was never just an American writer. Her work challenged the world to confront memory, race, silence and power — and continues to shape conversations far beyond the United States. A powerful reflection on why Morrison still matters today. blackhistorymonth.org.uk/art… #ToniMorrison #BlackHistory #Literature #BlackHistoryMonth #Books #Writers #Culture

Some books entertain. Others force a nation to look in the mirror. From The Interesting Narrative of Olaudah Equiano to Natives by Akala, these powerful works challenged Britain’s understanding of race, empire, identity and belonging — and changed the conversation forever. blackhistorymonth.org.uk/art… #BlackHistory #BlackHistoryMonth #Books #BritishHistory #Literature #Reading #BlackBritishHistory

Horrifying to watch the gleeful violence inflicted on Global Sumud Flotilla activists at the behest of Israel's National Security minister. It's not enough to condemn & sanction him. We must impose sanctions on this government and stop arming it.
