A very constructive visit to #Birmingham over the last couple of days as we lay the foundations for a first @sanctuaryrunner.bsky.social group in the City. We'll be launching it on Sunday, August 16th @ the Unity 5KM event as part of the European Athletic Championships. Lets Do it. #Solidarity

🔵 We were so saddened to hear this morning of the passing of Sister Stanislaus Kennedy. We will forever be inspired by her tenacity, dedication, courage and determination to speak up for those with the weakest voices in society - In her memory lets never give up doing what is right and just for all.

Today marks nine years since Jo Cox was assassinated by a far-right extremist, a terrible loss to those who knew and loved her and to politics. Zero lessons were learned though and the far-right continues to be pandered to. With more political assassinations in the US it all feels too familiar.

I still can't quite believe genocide can happen in plain sight and the world doesn't seek to intervene - has any country suggested military intervention? Of course they haven't. Those nations which supply the bombs that fall on children are as twisted as those who launch them with evil glee.

The horrors of Gaza are so disturbing, twisted and dystopian that any flicker of hope there ever was of peace in the region feels completely extinguished forever. Genocide in real time, a world which does nothing to stop it and a blood thirsty Israeli regime - where is the humanity?
