Wonderful to be at @diocswellnott St Stephen's Church in Sneinton yesterday to talk about supporting Afghan refugees through @CitizensUK @SponsorRefugee.
Blown away by the exhibition in the church by @sneintonprimary. Amazing to see children taking refugee issues so seriously.

Congratulations newly elected MPs!
This week @AngelaRayner & others pledged to work with Citizens UK on issues that matter to our communities.
We're ready to build on existing relationships like these & foster new ones with all elected officials.
Everyday people win change💪💯

"We need a more just curriculum, diverse leadership and better systems to deal with racist incidents: so my friends and I don’t have to work twice as hard to be understood." - Joanny, leader at @NottinghamCitz campaigning for racial equity in education.

People who migrate to the UK are rooted in & strengthen our communities but struggle to survive. We need a fair, timely & affordable pathway to #citizenship.
"So people who have made the UK their home, can become British & unleash their talents" - Eddy, leader @Bham_Citizens.
Nottingham Citizens retweeted
"A real #LivingWage for care workers, including paid travel time, ensures our contributions are repaid with dignity & respect." - Rachel, leader at @NottinghamCitz.
With a high cost of living, carers struggle on less than the real #LivingWage. We need a #LivingWageForSocialCare.
Nottingham Citizens retweeted
"I'm Fahim, a refugee from Afghanistan @Bham_Citizens for 20+ years, now helping refugee families rebuild their lives.
We need a streamlined #CommunitySponsorship scheme so that more people can become sponsors, and it is accessible to eligible refugees of all nationalities."

"I can't vote, & my peers & I lack the #MentalHealth support we need, waiting years to be seen.
We need statutory counselling in every school & college in England, so every young person has support. Plus, votes at 16 to take the next step in our democracy", Lysander @CitizensBH

Last night we held our national Citizens UK General Election Assembly, where community leaders shared testimony and asked politicians from different Parties for change on #LivingWage, #Citizenship, #Housing & more.
Here are some of their stories 👇🏾

Carers work tirelessly to keep our loved ones safe but are struggling to live day by day on less than the real #LivingWage. Care workers and #socialcare employers took to Parliament and spoke to #BBCNews in June calling for the #LivingWageForSocialCare 💪🏼💪🏿

More fab pictures from the @CitizensUK General Election Assembly tonight. I hope the politicians present know that these people will remember their commitments. We will return to our communities and continue organising, holding whoever is in Government to account.

Great evening at @CitizensUK General Assembly representing @LeicesterCitizn! Powerful to see a broad based alliance of people coming together and organizing their voices to make change 💪

📚 Our listening tells us that young people & staff experience racism perpetrated against them.
We are organising to create an inclusive education system that centres curricula, safeguarding, & workforce development.
