Through @makespaceoxford we're working hard to bring about more affordable space for community groups - unlocking empty buildings to celebrate, support and connect groups making, fixing, creating and taking on the big social justice issues of our times

"#Oxford is one of the least affordable cities in the UK to live, to buy a house, to obtain a space of any kind." Andy Edwards is the Cofounder of @makespaceoxford, which repurposes empty & underused buildings into affordable, community-driven workspaces 🏘️♻️🏚️🌱 #HousingCrisis

While #Madleen must be released immediately, every Mediterranean port should send boats with aid, solidarity, and humanity to Gaza. They shall sail together—united, they will be unstoppable. #BreakingTheSiege is a legal duty for states, and a moral imperative for all of us.

The point is dismantling the idea of land ownership entirely, not just having more ‘communities’ owning it. A step along the way for that might be getting the freeholds for communities and rewriting the rules yes. But, just stopping at community ownership is just be a new cycle.

Many MPs urged gov't to include rent controls in Renters Rights Bill last week (see t.ly/VZ79-) But @mtpennycook & @AngelaRayner argued rent controls wld reduce supply of homes Short🧵w/ data to show this risk is small & can be mitigated, and benefits outweigh costs

The boy made a little library box at @CIVIC_SQUARE for the street with @WeCanMakeHomes It'll be called THE INCREDIBLE LIBRARY (Allen's Cross). It will hold more than books - toys, the odd cat (!) & lovely things to bless folk in this community. Painting this week. So cool!
