"During lockdown, data revealed that rough sleeping rose sharply despite the government’s scheme, as more people had become homeless after losing jobs." #covidpoverty #homelesscovid19 #homelessness #homelessLondon #povertyUK metro.co.uk/2020/09/01/rou…
The number of households made homeless after being evicted for falling behind on the rent could treble if the government does not stop a mounting debt crisis. theguardian.com/world/2020/jul…

What would it take to save this man from the streets? Not a lot, if the will was there by the authorities that decide. Excellent piece on #homelessness, right now, as lockdown lifts. By Paul Atherton @LondonersLondon #paulsstory #offthestreets #homelesscovid19

Becoming anti-racist...the stages explained #endwhitesupremacy #endracism #antiracism
White people benefit from a system that has - for 500 years - put them at the top of a racial hierarchy. The average white person is not to blame for that, but we have a responsibility and duty to give up that unearned privelege to make #racialequality possible #EndWhiteSupremacy
100% yes - it IS up to white people to #endwhitesupremacy
100% yes - it IS up to white people to #endwhitesupremacy
We have a lot to learn. #EndWhiteSupremacy
The global hierarchy of race. Ever wondered about that? If not, why not? This thought-provoking article from 2003 carries even more weight here and now in 2020. #racialequality #blacklivesmatter #whiteprivelege #racism theguardian.com/world/2003/sep…
This blows my mind too. If it doesn't blow your mind, then perhaps ask yourself why not.

So well deserved. What this small charity provides to homeless and vulnerable people, with so little resources, is simply astounding. I am proud to work there.

It's a privilege to learn about racism instead of experiencing it your whole life.
