Today, as we remember lives lost to war, we must keep speaking out against the horrors unfolding in Sudan, Gaza, Congo, Ukraine and everywhere conflict continues.
True remembrance requires us to speak up for peace and insist that every human life is of equal value.

These countries did little to cause climate breakdown, yet are left facing its worst impacts.

As the UK reconfigures global partnerships post-Brexit, Africa’s importance is only increasing.

Britain has shipped £284m+ of armaments to the UAE since 2021.
There is mounting evidence that British weapons shipped to the UAE are being diverted to these militias in Sudan.
Our government should stop these arms exports without further delay.

It is an open secret that the RSF is being financed and armed by the UAE.

Racism didn’t appear by accident. It was engineered.
It is not just about words or attitudes, but material conditions: who owns wealth, who holds power, who has access to housing, healthcare, safety and dignity.
To truly tackle racism, we need reparations.

The call for reparations has survived centuries because it speaks to something beyond politics.
It speaks to the human need for recognition, justice and dignity, and to the possibility of renewal.
