Jesse Jackson

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

The UK must find ways to harness the wisdom of people who access the social security system. Our CEO Liam Purcell has the lead letter in @theguardian.com yesterday, responding to their editorial on UK poverty.

Looking forward to reading this new book from our friends at @atd-fourthworld-uk.bsky.social! "This book is about Mary Rabagliati, but it is more than that. In Joyful Revolution, Diana Skelton is writing a history of ATD Fourth World." academic.oup.com/jhrp/article...

This week is the beginning of the end of one of the worst policies for children in modern times. www.lbc.co.uk/article/scra...

@atd-fourthworld-uk.bsky.social is proud to have joined 65 other organisations in asking all MPs to support this bill to end the two-child limit, which has driven child poverty to a record high.

despite the depravity of what I’ve seen at the hands of masked, armed agents indiscriminately targeting people from L.A. to Chicago to Charlotte to Minneapolis, watching everyday people taking peacefully to the streets is giving me extraordinary hope.

What would it look like to talk about poverty and social justice in a way that brings people together rather than pushing them apart? In case of interest, this is a webinar I have coming up soon with the amazing Stacy White and Chris Winship. To register: givebutter.com/messages/vie...

Typically ridiculous, supporters of genocidal apartheid Israel denounce NY Mayor Mamdani for ending racist orders equating criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism. As a Jew, I salute Mayor Mamdani for this principled and honest decision.

By Liel's definition, the leaders of all the Western nations who decided to recognize the State of Palestine last year are Jew-haters (they aren't actually, and neither is Mamdani. In fact, if it weren't for one Jew—Brad Lander—the vast majority of the world wouldn't know who Zohran Mamdani is!).

I’m not the only Jew who refuses to conflate Netanyahu and his government with Judaism, nor opposition to them as antisemitism. They are desperate for Mamdani to fail.

Jew here… I am absolutely dismissing concerns from Jewish New Yorkers about Mamdani as pure, uncut Islamophobia. Hope that helps the dude in your mentions.

On #HumanRights Day, remembering this @atd4thworld.bsky.social campaign for the indivisibility of rights in the U.K. and beyond. ‬⁩ @justfairuk.bsky.social @amnestyuk.bsky.social @koldocasla.bsky.social

On #HumanRightsDay we reiterate that human rights cannot be applied selectively. #OurEverydayRights are also the rights of Palestine Refugees. What is at stake are the values enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and international law. Human Rights must be upheld without exception.

Happy #HumanRightsDay! Starmer has chosen to mark it by... kicking off negotiations on how to water down our human rights 🤯 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... The ECHR protects all of us, so we should all be worried about changes that amount to "human rights... except for those people"

Of course there's much more work to do to overcome poverty for families, but this is a very important step!

Labour is scrapping the two child benefit cap to deliver on our historic moral mission of tackling child poverty.

Scrapping the two-child limit *is* welfare reform. Defining ‘reform’ solely as ‘cut’ is one reason why it’s proved so difficult
