@amnestyealing.bsky.social joined thousands of trade unionists and community groups at the #CableStreet90 commemoration of the battle of #CableStreet when Oswald Moseley's fascists were blocked from marching in the East End. Communities under threat still need to be protected today. No Pasaran !

Education can unlock incredible opportunities. Just ask our Goodwill Ambassador Mary Maker. She grew up as a refugee in Kakuma, Kenya and recently attended #UNGA in New York to share a clear message. Refugees need more than words. They need action.

The arrest of Greta Thunberg for peacefully opposing genocide and supporting those on hunger strike is wrongful and disturbing. This is yet another shocking example of the UK’s broad terrorism laws being used to target those exercising their right to freedom of expression and assembly rights.
