We're using art to make the injustice tangible: that's 2486 pebbles representing the number of IPPs still held indefinitely yet deserving of a resentence. Contact your MP to ask them what they're doing to expedite reform on IPP! Cheers!

Our collaboration with @ungripp.bsky.social kicked off this Monday at the Campaign Fringe event, held at the Labour Party Conference! Pebbles were painted, important conversations were had, and new connections made.
