✅ 10 tips for having courageous conversations - cityofsanctuary.org/2024/04/17/sta…

Find your group and make your community a place of sanctuary and welcome.

I'm so proud to live in the first borough of sanctuary after leaving Sheffield, the first city of sanctuary. One thing that everyone can do to push back against cruel policies today, tomorrow & beyond is to make our communities safe & welcoming for people seeking sanctuary 🧡

Happy St George's Day! Did you know St George was half Turkish & half Palestinian? An immigrant, about as multicultural as you could get in the classical world & at the receiving end of discrimination & persecution from Roman authorities for his religion👉independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

Community is the best tool we have to beat hostility & division.

If you're angry about the Rwanda Bill, channel your energy into making your community a place of welcome for all⚡️
