Stop Incinerating, Start Recycling! Birmingham burns a lot more than it recycles, sending waste into the sky.

Birmingham marches together against the far right 🧵

On Saturday we joined the #Together march in London, forming part of the biggest mobilisation in recent history against the far right. Our campaigners and local action groups united with a reported 500,000 others to say no to hate, division and climate denial and yes to unity, hope, and solidarity.

A timely reminder! This evening's campaign meeting was about Dave Our Soil, a campaign asking the Council to stop using pesticides.

You may have heard that cBeebies were filming in Digbeth Community Garden. Their project is airing on cBeebies channel and BBC iplayer starting this week. It's for 3-6 year-olds, but adults may be interested in the aerial drone footage and the garden looks really lovely in the footage we've seen.

Today's campaign meeting was feedback from our 1st Clothes Swap on Saturday. It was really good, at least 50 people came to the clothes swap & about 30 to the Fast Fashion talk after. We made a welcoming space based on community sharing & people connected there. Main confusion was lack of rules or £

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👇 https://action.friendsoftheearth.uk/petition/make-corporate-harm-not-just-business
