The actions of these racists in Newcastle get worse by the week, they're blasting out fascist music and scream their hate as loud as they want at their protests, all under the eyes of Northumbria Police. Why is this allowed in our City of Sanctuary?

This is what we're facing every Saturday in Newcastle. More and more children getting dragged into these vile spectacles. #standuptoracism

Northern Cultural Projects has secured a £240,186 grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and £36,488 match funding from Karbon Homes, to see one of the hobby rooms on the Byker estate transformed into a community archive.

This is the message from Moatasem I quoted in my speech at the Newcastle Unites rally. He is one of the asylum seekers in the hotel which has been the target of far-right and other racist protesters since August, with counter-protesters standing in their way every weekend. #standuptoracism

Worth reading this history piece on Byker from @silviefisch.bsky.social & @salawatson.bsky.social

Many more grassroots fights to come, I have no doubt!
Privileged to add an excellent piece by @salawatson.bsky.social & Silvie to the site.

Power to all people? covers in length the role of community in moulding modern Byker. The estate's survival is arguably down to the grassroots input from locals whose voices persist.
