EVERY LIFE, A UNIVERSE - Vigil and testimony readings

⏰October 9th, 6pm
📍Castlehaven Community Park, London NW1 8RU

These 2 years have been marked by unimaginable loss: loved ones murdered/held captive, families driven from their homes, people cut off from their communities. (1/3)

White and yellow text on a dark grey background, together with graphics of candles. The text reads “EVERY LIFE, A UNIVERSE. VIGIL AND TESTIMONY READINGS. October 9th. 6pm. Castlehaven Community Park London NW1 8RU. Wear Black”

First page of the East End Dwelling Company minutes. Look at that beautiful script.
The material and moral problems of Katharine Buildings’ latrines and thieving lazy caretakers a recurrent theme into the 1950s.

On the eve of Sukkot and the 2nd anniversary of October 7th, we pause to mourn and share in the pain of the family and friends of those murdered and taken hostage two years ago in the Hamas-led attacks, some of whom have still not returned home.

“We have to be really clear that there is no contradiction between saying clearly that antisemitism is completely unacceptable and demanding that the genocide end.”

Na'amod's Em Hilton spoke to @novaramedia.com about organising against antisemitism and for Palestinian liberation.

#OnThisDay, 4 Oct 1936, women join the Battle of Cable Street, in London's East End, protesting against a fascist march through the area. Of the 79 protestors arrested, eight are women, including Blanche Edwards (pictured).

Our hearts are with the victims and their families at this terrible time.

We are heartbroken to emerge from Yom Kippur into news of the attack at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation in Manchester. No one should face violence for attending synagogue services and our hearts are with the victims and their families at this terrible time.
For many in our community, this news may only just be reaching you after a day spent in prayer, reflection, and fasting. To be confronted with such awfulness in this moment is particularly painful: please know that you are not alone.

In moments like this, it is vital that our communities - Jewish and non-Jewish alike hold one another close. Our safety and liberation depend on solidarity between all those who are marginalised and targeted, and we must not allow those who seek to divide us to succeed. Every person deserves to live, gather, and worship in safety and dignity. We condemn this act of violence unequivocally, and restate our commitment to building a world where this kind of horror is no longer possible.

Rumours swirling that Government may try to avoid fully scrapping 2 child limit by changing it to a 3 child limit, only lifting it for some groups or giving lower support to 3rd and subsequent children. Helpfully @resfoundation.bsky.social already crunched the numbers, finding that...1/4

The two-child limit is fundamentally unfair.

It arbitrarily discriminates against children in larger families, leading to unfair opportunities and outcomes.

Scrapping it would be a cost-effective way to cut poverty.
