Congo isn't “resource-cursed.” It is exploited.
The curse is colonialism, not the minerals or the people.

Just in case the government missed the message: we are not going away.

We ARE becoming strangers — not because of migrants, but because of insecure work, (anti-)social media, lack of shared spaces and low wages preventing socialising.
Bring back youth clubs, fix community centres, support workers. Invest in our country — don’t scapegoat migrants.

Despite ICC arrest warrants & the ICJ's interim ruling, the UK continues to export components for F-35 jets, facilitates arms deliveries via RAF Akrotiri & conducts daily surveillance flights over Gaza.
The UK is not a passive bystander to genocide.
It is an active participant.

❤️🩹Migrants and Racialised people are punished already by policing systems and Mobile Biometrics further punishes and harms our communities
🫂We’re calling for reparative justice and healing justice for communities and an end to this system of policing and immigration enforcement

17 civil society groups have written to the Home Secretary about AI in policing.
Its use magnifies discrimination and injustice for marginalised communities in the legal system.
We want an outright ban on ‘predictive policing’.

For the past year, millions of us around the world have made repeated, desperate calls for a ceasefire. We demanded an end to the genocide. We warned of a disastrous regional conflict.
We were ignored.
Governments have fuelled the machinery of war. Their indifference to human life has destroyed prospects for peace and endangered us all.
All of this violence was entirely avoidable. Without urgent de-escalation, more unimaginable horror is on the horizon.
It’s time to listen to the voices of ordinary people across the globe calling for peace.
That means ending the root cause of this appalling cycle of violence: the occupation of Palestine.

🏘️ Many in our communities experience harm via services meant to care and protect, because of structural inequalities that prevent access, or where people receive further trauma from staff who do not know how to meet needs.
Above all else, Yorkshire Resists believes in unity and the strength of love above borders and repressive systems.
In every iteration of hatred mobilised by capitalists and exploiters like Nigel Farage, Tommy Robinson and Establishment Media, we find resistance and communities in solidarity with those oppressed.
