Theatres of Sanctuary unite!⚡

Art bridges divides and tells the stories we all urgently need to hear - that's why the Theatre of Sanctuary network is so important.

We loved meeting 15 Theatres of Sanctuary yesterday - each doing groundbreaking work.

Question journalists need to ask the protest banning politicians and we need to ask MPs - is what - when the Government is enabling the genocide - are the actions we can take to protest the mass and continued slaughter of Palestinians abs the annihilation of their way of life? What?

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter

Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

I'd add this. Although human rights are universal, those who most need the shelter they provide are those without money and power and who are politically targeted. The cost of the Supreme Court's choice to "edit the Human Rights Act out of existence" will be born most heavily by them.

Excellent letter from the Bishop of Birmingham to Robert Jenrick.

At a time when so many other voices have been silent, the bishops have been admirably outspoken against attempts to stir up division.

The churches do a lot of community cohesion work & do not want to see this trashed for party gain.

More than 10,800 Palestinians are currently held in Israeli prisons under what rights groups describe as grave and inhumane conditions. A significant number are held without charge or trial.

Gaza’s education system has collapsed under the weight of war. Nearly 658,000 school-aged children and 87,000 university students have been left without access to learning as classrooms and campuses lie in ruins.

The destruction across Gaza is near total. Entire neighbourhoods have been wiped out, leaving millions of Palestinians forcibly displaced and without shelter.

Israel is responsible for forced hunger in Gaza through months of blocked aid and a deadly distribution system where people are shot almost daily while trying to collect food.

Two years of Israel's deadly air and ground assault have killed at least 67,000 Palestinians.

The true number is unknown and is likely much higher because the official death toll does not include those who perished under rubble or are missing.
