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...

Thanks so much for this review!

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...

Today the Bill to end the two-child limit starts to make its way through Parliament. The policy is responsible for driving child poverty to its current record high. Poverty has a devastating impact on young lives. We’ve joined 65 other orgs in asking all MPs to support this Bill.

A Minneapolis knitting shop has resurrected the design of a Norwegian cap worn to protest Nazi occupation. Its owner says the money raised from hat pattern sales will support the local immigrant community. n.pr/4thWiUr

My Melt ICE hat knit with leftover wool in a favorite style, as it's double brimmed. I added blue waves & pines from Doodle Knit Dictionary by Jamie Lomax in a tribute to MN. Knitting red tasseled hats to protest ICE now comes from Norwegians, who did in WWII to protest the Nazis. Stand Strong MN!

Open letter on the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill, co-signed by @atd-fourthworld-uk.bsky.social rightsforchildren.uk/open-letter-...

I recommend that people follow @poverty2solutions.bsky.social, co-founded by @atd-fourthworld-uk.bsky.social, and which is relaunching an A to Z of involving lived experience in policy making!

This is not a Christmas appeal. Poverty doesn’t pause when the decorations come down. For the people we support, the struggle for dignity and rights continues every day of the year. So this is not a Christmas appeal but a call for year-round solidarity. Please click here: mailchi.mp/atd-uk/69vql...

In Memory of Gyula Balog (1959-2025), an inspiring housing rights and anti-poverty activist Here is a brief reflection on behalf of @hrw.org to express our condolences, as Gyula’s friends and colleagues lay him to rest today in Budapest. Rest in power, Gyula bacsi! www.hrw.org/news/2025/12...

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

📢 Today we join the End Child Poverty Coalition and Children in Scotland members at the Scotland Demands Better march, calling for action to end child poverty. @opfs.org.uk @parentingscotland.bsky.social @magicbreakfastuk.bsky.social @cpagscotland.bsky.social @fifegingerbread.bsky.social

The UK cannot just end the two-child limit on benefits. It must end the benefit cap too, writes Ruth Talbot, founder of Single Parent Rights.

Every family should be able to afford food and heating. But the two-child benefit cap is pushing families to the edge. Many of them are working. Removing the cap is the simplest way to protect struggling families - help us call for change now 👉 bit.ly/4ovyIAj

Scrap the two-child limit now!

First stop @grainnemcmahon.bsky.social to think about how we capture our learning and impact...

Lugging more flipcharts and post-its than flannels and pants!

So what do you do when 32 people across the UK want to be part of deciding the next steps for GRIPP and there's no budget for a residential? Well we send our Cocktail Stick on tour! Starting today from Bushey to Manchester, then onto Stockton on Tees and Glasgow and then London next week...

Thanks to our ally James Morrison for this excellent article: "Labour says benefit reforms are a ‘moral mission’ – it looks more like moral panic" theconversation.com/labour-says-...?

In response to the government's announcement today on plans to cut incapacity and disability benefits, we have issued the following statement- highlighting how these cuts could deepen child poverty. We also share concerns from young people, living in poverty, who will be impacted.
