What kind of workshops would you like to see from PIRC in 2025? 👀

PIRC @publicinterest.org.uk · Mar 19

We loved meeting with our board last week to chat PIRC's values, aims and future strategy. It's hard, when much feels hopeless, to work out what a small org can do to best play our role in change. We think we are figuring it out though! Stay tuned 👀

We love this new toolkit, spearheaded by Friends of the Joiners Arms, about how spaces can be more accessible. We loved the bit about safeguarding, we’ve been having similar questions at PIRC about how we can take anti-carceral approaches to safeguarding static1.squarespace.com/static/627b6...

A few years ago, we worked with NEON, @350.org, and a bunch of grassroots groups across the UK on Framing Climate Justice. We wanted to work out how to communicate about climate change in ways that would lead to wide-scale action, and stay grounded in racial justice values
