I spent this Saturday morning with @journeytojustice.bsky.social at the Ella Baker School of Organising conference training and galvanising around narratives that seek to divide us
Given the divisive racist narratives gaining prominent momentum and ground across the UK including in many households and amongst our politicians, Journey to Justice and Ella Baker School of Organising came together in solidarity to train, discuss, mobilise and galvanise
