In this guest article, David Williams maps a timeline of resistance in Bristol from the Park Street protests of 1944 to the Kill the Bill protests of 2021. This history is both an inspiration and a reminder of the ongoing struggle for justice. thebristolactivist.com/2023/07/11/res…

Campaigners issue a CALLOUT for support at 54 Robertson Road. Baillifs and police have arrived this morning. Not currently clear who's living in the house - it had previously been squatted after the owner was evicted in December last year.
