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. A statement from the Independent Alliance on Nakba Day.

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.

⚠️Welsh police forces have just introduced an intrusive "on-the-spot" facial recognition app. "Resorting straight to biometric surveillance when they're using so many unlawfully held images and when this technology....it's incredibly concerning." @JHurfurt tells @ITVWales

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.

New @RaceJustice @YorksResists report tracks the expansion of biometric policing technology in the UK, with Black, Arab/Middle Eastern, and Chinese/Japanese people hit hardest by the shocking rise in state surveillance in recent years stopthescan.co.uk/profit-before-…

❤️‍🩹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

🚨 ATTENTION: Today we launch a new report with @yorksresist “Profit Before People: Expansion of biometric policing technology in the UK” to examine the impact of this type of policing and immigration enforcement.

⭐️NEW: Labour on immigration: 5 things you need to know 👉 the key policy developments 👉 companies who benefit ... with links to groups mobilising against them corporatewatch.org/labour-on-immi… #starmer #homeoffice #immigration #noborders [THREAD 1/7]

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’. #SafetyNotSurveillance openrightsgroup.org/press-releases…

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.

you’re raised to think colonalism is a thing of the past and then you sit here and realize…. none of it has ever stopped

Remember your POWER!💥Amazing afternoon motivational speaking at @thackraymuseum ❤️ Wonderful room packed with community activists ready to create big scale change 💪🏽 boom boom! 💥 Thanks so much @StopWatchUK @YorksResists @theracialjusticenetwork and Harehills Action Team for inviting me today 🙏🏼

We do this by holding space for sharing experiences, organising to build resilience, nurturing the wisdom within our communities, and sharing and celebrating examples of community care.

🏘️ 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.

📆 Saturday September 28th, you are invited to an event to reimagine community safety for everyone, on our own terms. shorturl.at/nHVpH Hosted by Harehills Action Team, @RaceJustice , and @StopWatchUK Artwork by Tyra Thomas

Yorkshire Resists will continue to organise and support collective action around this form of the hostile environment.

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.

Above all else, Yorkshire Resists believes in unity and the strength of love above borders and repressive systems.
