Another great meeting with @helenhayes_, storytelling and strategising about fair, effective pathways to Citizenship.
Particularly great to have your support in fighting for justice for young migrants in Lambeth and across the country.

So proud of Fatiha addressing Angela Rayner, advocating for much-needed changes in TA at @CitizensUK #GeneralElection2024 Assembly. Her passion and commitment is truly inspiring!🌟
Also so grateful to have shared our #NoticeUs song with an audience of over 2,000 people✨

Beautiful reflection on organising and solidarity from Grace Akinyemi at last night’s @CitizensUK general election assembly
“Some of these issues will directly affect our own lives, for the other issues, we care because our neighbour’s struggle is our struggle.”

Welcome to the South West London Citizens Health Organising Assembly!
Hundreds of community leaders from Croydon, Kingston, Merton, Richmond, Sutton and Wandsworth are at @stbarnabasSW4 to take action with local authorities and NHS decision-makers... 🧵
Massive opportunity on Children's Citizenship!! Lambeth Citizens met with @helenhayes_ last week to discuss our #CitizensAgenda A Fair Pathway to Citizenship campaign. Thank you for your time Helen! (1/2)
An exciting discussion on the barriers to citizenship including NRPF and #EveryChildShouldBenefit and those facing the most marginalised migrant kids + the future of community sponsorship. We look forward to meeting with @helenhayes_ and her colleagues again soon! (2/2)
We had a great discussion with Helen about the barriers to children's integration and citizenship, particularly focussing on NRPF and #EveryChildShouldBenefit, community sponsorship and the most marginalised children. We look forward to meeting her and her colleagues again soon!

"The truth is inequalities in our society are making us sick"
A packed house of 475 people and powerful example of what can happens when communities have the power to shape decisions that impact them

This is what’s called real engagement. Not questionnaires or digital responses but face to face conversations that take people on a journey to be a part of the solution. Well done @SLondonCitizens @SLondonListens
Over the past four months we asked *4,101* people what was preventing them and their communities from thriving
Today 100 community leaders from across South London gathered at @stjohnswaterloo to discuss the major themes and to strategise for change

Children belong in classrooms 📚, not detention centres🚫
In today's vote, we are calling on Parliament #ProtectChildren and #StopChildDetention🧸
Two classrooms of children could be locked up in prison-like conditions every day under the Government’s proposed Bill.
We believe children belong in classrooms📚, not detention centres 🚫
#StopChildDetention

“Children’s and refugee organisations are aghast at what’s being proposed. They are not alone. Many of us across all benches … feel the same”
Powerful speech against the reintroduction of child detention in the House of Lords this evening by Baroness @NosheenaMobarik
A win for Lambeth Citizens! New ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) directory now live on @lambeth_council's website! Check it out here: lambeth.gov.uk/directory-eng…
Lambeth raised the need for an ESOL directory on the council's website at our local election assembly last year, attended by @clairekholland, where we shared the importance of learners being able to easily see information about the different types of ESOL classes in the borough.
Since then we've been working with @lambeth_council's Sanctuary Services Team to deliver on the council's commitment to this directory. A wonderful example of how organised communities can work effectively with local authorities! lambeth.gov.uk/lambeth-sanct…

"We pride ourselves on being a nation where children are safe, where their best interests are protected."
The Gvmt's cruel plan to lock up refugee kids again will traumatise thousands. As Baroness @NosheenaMobarik said, #ChildDetention must be stopped.

🌡️Symptoms of a broken system:
🚫Kids can't access essential funds
❌Simply due to immigration status
❌Despite being born here
❌And decades of parents working & paying taxes
@citizens_london are taking action because #EveryChildShouldBenefit.
