Forest Gate North

We’re delighted to announce that we’ve been nominated for the #NobelPeacePrize alongside the brilliant @MwatanaEn! 🥳🥲

Please sign the petition actionnetwork.org/forms/make-sch… You don't have to be a teacher to do so. One of the calls from the meeting was to sign, share and encourage everyone you know to support this joint NEU-Unison petition.

We call on Newham Council - Please don't cut the Eat For Free meals scheme for junior age children in Newham. We are one of the poorest boroughs in the country, many of our children live in poverty. Think again! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/save…

In the sixth richest country in the world, no child should go to bed hungry. Let's tax the super-rich and end child food poverty.

Anywhere could end up in Tier 3 this winter. That’s why our fight was always everyone’s fight. We’re so grateful for the messages of support from across the country. Thank you. 🙏 This is now rightly going before Parliament tomorrow. Please ask your MP to vote for fairness. 👇

Protesters have vowed to fight the centre which could be based near the ExCeL #Newham newhamrecorder.co.uk/news/royal-vic…

#Newham has the highest number of children living in poverty, study shows newhamrecorder.co.uk/news/child-pov…

Paying close attention to the Commons today and to those who are willing to turn a blind eye to the needs of our most vulnerable children, 2.2M of them who currently qualify for Free School Meals. 42% newly registered. Not to mention the 1.5M children who currently don’t qualify.

Today’s just saying.

Don't forget to join us on Thursday 22nd Oct for Mark Thomas' 'Cuckooed' - the true story of how Mark discovered his close friend was spying on him for Britain's biggest arms dealer followed by a Q&A with CAAT. gofasterstripe.com/cgi-bin/websit… 20% of all ticket sales go to CAAT
