An aerial satellite view of a city serves as the background for an announcement graphic. In the center, a cream-colored rectangular box with rounded corners displays text in two different styles. At the top, the words "START POINT ANNOUNCED" are written in bold, black, sans-serif capital letters. Below this, hand-written style text in orange-red reads: Park Lane, Central London 28th March @ 12pm At the bottom of the cream box is a black and white logo that reads "TOGETHER" in a stylized, bold font, with the words "AGAINST THE FAR RIGHT" in smaller block letters underneath. The background map shows a dense urban area with historical buildings and a large green park featuring a body of water on the left side.

My Great Grandma was a suffragette. My Grandmother survived the Nazis. My Mother championed equal pay and respect for AIDS sufferers. Now it's my generation's turn to step up and show our daughters the power of peaceful protest and standing together for what is good and decent.
Itβs our turn to show up: for whatβs good and decent.
Let us know your reason for marching π

Two thirds (66%) of Labour and Lib Dem voters in Gorton and Denton said they would be prepared to switch to the Greens if they were most likely to beat Reform, compared to just 41% of Green and Lib Dem voters who said they would switch to Labour in order to defeat Farageβs party.
Sign the petition to convince the European Commission to change their mind on My Voice, My Choice. Unofficial info says the draft response has a negative attitude. Decision Feb 26. Still time to change their mind. Sign οΌ share. app.sosha.ai/s/GyigoJkm
Doing some planning for this recently. Looking forward to hearing more from grassroots organisations about how they plan to support communities through Pride in Place - new central government investment in communities over the next 10 years.
If you were #BornintheUSA you are a U.S. citizen! It's that simple. The principle of jus soli (right of soil) is enshrined in the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. Right now, the current POTUS is trying to take that away! Don't let him!

The final weekend before the crucial Gorton & Denton election.
The only party leader to show up, support their candidate and hit the ground canvassing - @zackpolanski.bsky.social
Where was Keir Starmer? @lucympowell.bsky.social
No sign of Nigel Farage (or Matt Goodwin).
Greens deserve to win.π
Reform is not your friend.
The Tories, per the Daily Fail, now vow to βfixβ the mess they made - with zero idea how to pay for it. Again. They boast about cutting 100k students but canβt say how, unless they mean gutting universities. Same failed architects, now pretending theyβre the repair crew. #DailyFail
Farage distances himself from them, so why are far-right bigots helping Reform UKβs candidate Goodwin in the Gorton and Denton by-election?

Extreme poverty fell sharply worldwide β even excluding China. Line chart of global extreme poverty rate, 1990 to 2025. Extreme poverty is defined as living below the international poverty line of $3 per day; data are adjusted for inflation and differences in living costs between countries. The chart shows global extreme poverty reduced from 43% to 10%, and the series excluding China reduced from 33% to 12%, with the two lines converging by around the mid-2000s and continuing to decline toward 2025. Y axis runs from 0% to 50%; x axis runs from 1990 to 2025. Data source: World Bank Poverty and Inequality Platform (2025); OurWorldInData.org/poverty. License: CC BY.
Was the global decline of extreme poverty only due to China?
The share of the world population living in extreme poverty has never declined as rapidly as in the past three decades.
Wrote this on Lana Estemirovaβs new book Please Live, about her mother Natalia, the rights activist murdered in Chechnya in 2009, her work and their relationship.
Itβs a powerful, beautiful read - canβt recommend highly enough.
