This week discuss the highlights from the latest National March for Palestine and the government's continued quest to twist the narrative about Israel's occupation of Gaza and the Free Palestine movement. We also unpack other humanitarian crises across the African continent, including Sudan and the DR Congo. Whether it's Gaza, climate change, the cozzy lives, DR Congo, Sudan or the housing market, everything is linked and we need to keep the conversation going!
The next National March for Palestine, in Central London, is on Saturday 11th November at 12 pm. Click here for more information.
Saffana of @learncopywritingnow unpacks why words are important and how they’re used to sway opinions, especially in the current climate.
