“In our system the men of violence have more power to decide where people can work and live than the state and the people.” Part 2 of our ‘Racism in Belfast’ blog series, covering over a year of racist violence leading to the events of this week is here: nlb.ie/blog/2024-08-r…

📢 We're calling on VCSE organisations to stand with us and unite against racism and discrimination. Join us & NIC ICTU on the steps of Stormont today at 11am. #HopeNotHate #NoToRacism #UniteInHope

Community Solidarity in action! We are all plagued by the same failing system, that’s where we need to direct our anger! Last nights event was to build support for our members who are living with terrible mould, damp, high rents, facing evictions & to build strong community 🟢

Just one of the brilliant groups that will benefit from this fundraiser is Anaka Women's Collective. This week they are taking kids out for the day, many of whom have been stuck in asylum accommodation all week. Please donate what you can. #WeAreBelfast

Thank you to these kind people for sending messages of solidarity, welcome and love in a week which has left people frightened and traumatised. You can join the #KindEconomy here: nlb.ie/take-action/li…

Today families whose homes were attacked by violent racists came together with the support of their local community, to eat, play & have fun together in a show of solidarity. Thanks to the young people from Anaka Women's Collective & our Kind Economy members for your support!

As Belfast stands up to say a resounding NO to racism, we need to keep working in our local communities. We are excited to announce that our carnival is happening on 28 Sept! Join us for a big loud colourful celebration of our wonderful diversity. Supported by #Belfast2024

Can you help? Families in need are looking for assistance with any of these items, clean and in good condition. DM us if you can provide any of them! ✊

Many thanks to everyone who has already donated to help new families in Belfast who are unable to work 💛 Everything from electronics to car seats, and from toys to clothes, they are already getting to the people who need them and are so appreciated!

Yesterday, #TakeBacktheCity activists came together at The MAC. A room full of people with passion and lived experience of the housing crisis, building a better future for the 47,000 households on the housing waiting list! ✊🏠

How did your kids spend their summer holiday? ☀️ One family have spent it in temporary accommodation, sharing one room, and being evicted on the weekends so that the hotel can make more money. There is no public transport, access to shops, or money for food.

Great to see that the UN CERD Committee has challenged the PSNI, government, and others to share and analyse data on the overlap between racist & paramilitary attacks. Following racist violence in 2023, we asked them the same thing, and were told no. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
