We been to the last two protests in support of the people of Congo, organised by Stand for Congo UK, so we decided to talk about our experience and how you can support. Plus we unpack even more racism in British politics (no change there) as racists and extremely violent comments from top Tory donor, Frank Hester, resurface in the press.
In the Spotlight: Stand for Congo UK. You can support by following them on Instagram and TikTok. Please like and share their content so more people can be informed about the organisation and join the next protest!
