Privileged to be at the launch of this exhibition celebrating the city's anti racism pioneers - many familiar to our building's community over the decades. Particularly in the face of sickeningly regressive racism from Robert Jenrick & others this week, this is affirming & well worth coming to see.

UK companies cause harm in their global supply chains. For them it’s “just business”. But we call it injustice. We joined Action Aid UK and Fairtrade UK at Labour party conference calling for action. Sign👇
