Journey to Justice presents The Long Shadow of Class: understanding inequality and galvanising change, a new film designed to be used by a wide range of audiences.
During Eradication of Poverty Week (17-23 October, 2022), our timely film will be launched in London on Tuesday 18th October at Resource for London.
Our film considers the crucial role class and education in the UK play in creating an economically unjust society. It explores the lenses through which we view each other.
Experts in their field from very different backgrounds discuss unequal opportunities, accent bias, the markers and stigma of poverty and the devastating effects of our current economic model.
Each also offers ideas aimed at galvanising people to act for economic justice.
Our six explainers highlight the need for those with lived experience to be at the forefront of policy decisions. They suggest how to effect change and inspire us all to develop a more just society.
The film forms part of a unique, rich resource created by Journey to Justice exploring the impact of economic injustice and how we can all challenge it. Our mission is to galvanise people to take action for social and economic justice through learning about human rights movements and the arts. We have a wealth of resources on a variety of topics, including anti-racist education, disability rights and the link between the environmental and economic justice.

This is a training event which will cover how and why organisations can use video in their communications. The event is for up to 30 attendees, primarily from small charities working in London. However, if you are from a larger charity or not based in London but your work still benefits communities in London, you are still eligible to take part.
These sessions will assist smaller organisations with campaign strategy when video expertise can be something that boards would love small charities to use but where the relevant skills aren’t always readily available in-house. It’s an opportunity to bring a particular problem you’re grappling with and will suggest creative processes to build into your communication strategies.

Make your way up to Resource for London on 356 Holloway Road to see this great display celebrating role models for their contributions to LGBT+ History
LGBT History Month is a month-long observance of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender plus history. It celebrates role models and the contribution of the LGBT + community and allies. In the UK, it is every February marking the 2003 abolition of Section 28. This was enacted in 1988 and stated that local authorities “shall not promote the teaching in any maintained school of the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship”. This year carries special significance for our history, as it sees the 50th anniversary of the founding of the London Gay Liberation Front (GLF).
Free admission - Resource for London is opened Monday to Friday (09:00-17:00)

For those who hope for a more just and peaceful world, this seems a testing time.
The climate emergency; populist, totalitarian governments; seemingly endless wars – it can be difficult to imagine that things can get better. But activists and realists hope and work for a better future.
So does Share International.
For 40 years, Benjamin Creme taught about Maitreya, the World Teacher for our time, according to the Ageless Wisdom Teaching.
Maitreya, the Masters of Wisdom, the New Age, evolution of consciousness are just a few of the ideas that underpin this intriguing teaching. Above all it offers hope – that humanity now sees the need for change, and that Maitreya the World Teacher is here to help.

EU citizens and their family members will lose their current rights to reside in the UK after Brexit. Those who want to stay in the UK must apply for a new immigration status to allow them to continue living in the UK after 30 June 2021 (or 31 December 2020 in a ‘no deal’ scenario).
There are an estimated 3.5 million EU citizens and their family members living in the UK, all of whom will need to make an application to the Home Office’s new ‘EU Settlement Scheme’ to continue living in the UK. The EU Settlement Scheme opened on 30 March 2019 and more than a million people have so far applied.
This free training seminar will provide you with the knowledge to support EU citizens and their family members who are victims of gender-based abuse secure the immigration status they need to continue living in the UK.
In this session you will learn about:
the EU Settlement Scheme including who must apply and how;
how new immigration status under the EU Settlement Scheme affects entitlement to benefits;
how you can provide practical support to women who need to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme;
what is regulated immigration advice and how to help women access it;
where you can signpost or refer women who need help with the EU Settlement Scheme.
Who should attend? This seminar is open to non-legal professionals working in England & Wales on violence against women and girls (VAWG) issues from the community, voluntary and statutory sectors including refuge workers, outreach workers, IDVAs and ISVAs. Professionals who attend should be providing or likely to provide free support to women who are EU citizens or their family members and who have been affected by VAWG.
Trainer: Nicole Masri, Immigration Solicitor, Rights of Women

We believe all new parents should feel confident and supported - wherever they live and whatever their background. But half of the parents feel lonely. The recent published Coram report on the prevalence of parental loneliness highlighted the issue, saying “Over half of parents with young children feel lonely, with those on lowest incomes twice as likely to be affected”.
Help us fund NCT’s new service Baby & Me with the big ambition to reach those parents facing hardship and loneliness. No one should parent alone.
Baby & Me is planned to be a new volunteer-led service which aims to reduce social isolation and provide information and support to new parents, particularly those in most need. We will also involve our brilliant NCT course leaders to share trusted information and caring support. The Christmas appeal aims to raise money to pilot this new service.
