Our spectacular Brighton & Hove @bhcompass1.bsky.social group took the Brunswick Festival by storm. Visitors signed our petition calling for urgent action for Proportional Representation. They also made their voices heard using our flipboard chart. Thank you to everyone who helped across both days!

A huge and shocking data gap, which illustrates rich world indifference. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
