Racism shapes policing in Britain - and pretending otherwise will not make racism disappear!

Tonight’s Sky documentary takes us inside the Met Police firearms unit that killed Chris Kaba. Commissioner Mark Rowley still refuses to admit the Met is institutionally racist, despite Baroness Casey finding racism rife across the force, including serious concerns within MO19 - the firearms unit Martyn Blake was part of when he shot Chris in the head.

Race was not part of the CPS prosecution against Blake. But the CPS is another state institution operating within the same racist society. One arm of the state deciding not to put race on trial cannot be used by another to declare race irrelevant.

The police did not know Chris was driving the car - or anything about his past. They did not know who was behind the wheel. Blake described what he saw: a “Black male” who looked “young and athletic”.

The idea that race plays no role in policing is ridiculous - and Commissioner Mark Rowley surely knows how ridiculous it sounds.

We will not allow race to be written out of what happened to Chris. We will not accept even less accountability for police.

On 5 September, join us at Lambeth Town Hall. The fight for justice is not over.

Met Commissioner Mark Rowley says police officers face “years and years of unacceptable scrutiny.”

Let’s be clear about what that means.

They don’t want ANY scrutiny. They want impunity.

They want the power to take people’s lives without any consequence. They want to carry on as if nothing happened.

That’s DANGEROUS. WE NEED REAL ACCOUNTABILITY.

Join us on Sat 5 September as we come together to challenge police impunity, hear the facts about Chris Kaba’s case, and continue the fight for truth, accountability and justice. LINK IN BIO.

JOIN US, SAT 5 SEPTEMBER IF YOU WANT TO LIVE IN A SOCIETY WHERE POLICE ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAW!

Today, the IOPC announced it is dropping the misconduct proceedings against Martyn Blake for killing Chris Kaba.

This is bigger than one case. The law has already been changed to make it harder to hold police officers professionally accountable.

The police want absolute impunity.

Join us on 5 September, the fourth anniversary of Chris Kaba’s killing - we’re coming together to stand with Chris’s family and demand real police accountability.

“We don’t have to live like this”

Our ‘Unpacked’ podcast series has challenged narratives around race, young people and violence, asking us to put the welfare of children and young people at the centre, and question how we can truly protect them.

In the final episode, @richiebrave sits down with @temwani.world, founder of @4frontproject and @harmtohealinguk, as well as Runnymede’s CEO Dr @shabnabegum25, to ask what safety actually looks like, and how we can get there.

For many children and young people in Britain, violence is a part of daily life. But, behind the headlines, systems are continually failing to keep our young people safe.

‘Unpacked: Young People & Violence’ is a new, five-part podcast series challenging us to think differently. Presented by @richiebrave and featuring a range of expert voices, ‘Unpacked’ encourages us to flip the narrative on youth violence to question who gets forgotten and why, and how we can really keep young people safe.

OUR SAFETY IS COLLECTIVE.

Harm to Healing is bringing together community members impacted by policing, state violence and criminalisation for a collective call for care, accountability and community healing in response to the treatment of Henry Nowak by police after sustaining fatal injuries. We are standing in solidarity with Henry’s family, friends and loved ones during this deeply painful time.

The footage of Henry’s final moments has shocked many people across the country. The treatment he received raises serious questions about care, dignity, accountability and the role of policing in responding to harm. These concerns are not isolated. Families and communities have spent decades raising questions about harm caused by policing, including fatal police violence, deaths following police contact and the failure of systems to respond with humanity and care.

While the harms of policing affect people across society, Black and other racialised communities continue to experience these harms disproportionately. We cannot allow this tragedy to be used to erase that reality or turn communities against one another.

At Harm to Healing, we believe real safety cannot be built through criminalisation and state violence. We need approaches to safety rooted in care, accountability, healing and community power.

Join us on YouTube tomorrow as impacted families and community organisers reflect on the events of the past week and explore how we can unite to build the conditions for safety, healing and justice for all.

Eight years ago on this day we started up #Bookclub This was our first ever meet up and it brings back so many great memories. I am so very proud of all these women and everything they have accomplished.

It’s funny that this picture comes up today because I was sitting here yesterday rebranding the current Bookclub and telling my supervisor I plan to bring back some of the older essence including in-person meet ups.

I think Bookclub has been one of my favourite things manifested.

Συναντήσαμε την @temwani.world στο δημοτικό συγκρότημα κατοικιών του Grahame Park, στο βορειοδυτικό Λονδίνο, στις “εργατικές”, όπως λέμε στα μέρη μας. Εκεί η Temi με την ομάδα της το @4frontproject δημιούργησαν το Jahiem’s Justice Center, ένα κοινοτικό κέντρο που θέτει κεντρικά το ζήτημα της δικαιοσύνης. Με τα λόγια της: “Είναι ένα κέντρο δικαιοσύνης, όπου κύριως σκοπός μας είναι η ίαση. Και για εμάς δεν υπάρχει δικαιοσύνη χωρίς ίαση και αποκατάσταση.” Από αυτήν την αφετηρία η Temi μας μίλησε για τις συστήματα υποστήριξης που έχουν έχουν δημιουργηθεί στις μαύρες και μουσουλμανικές κοινότητες του Λονδίνου για να φροντίσουν τις πληγές του συστημικού ρατσισμού.

Στο μεταξύ το Jahiems Justice Centerκαι το 4Front έκαναν τον κύκλο τους, αφήνοντας μια στιβαρή παρακαταθήκη κοινοτητικής οργάνωσης στο Λονδίνο και πέρα από αυτό.

We met Temi Mwale at the Grahame Park council estate in North West London. There, Temi and her team at 4Front Project created the Jahiem’s Justice Centre, a community space that placed the question of justice at its core. In her own words: “It is a justice centre, where our main purpose is about healing. And to us, there is no justice without healing and repair.” Starting from that point, Temi spoke to us about the support systems that have been built within Black and Muslim communities in London to care for the wounds of systemic racism.

In the meantime, Jahiem’s Justice Centre and 4Front completed their cycle, leaving behind a strong legacy of community organizing in London and beyond.

HARM TO HEALING

What an awesome evening it was at the Harm To Healing Launch, such a powerful event, because in that room were people who have been fighting and campaigning for years against the injustices done and being done to their loved ones.
Harm To Healing is a SAFE LANDING space, that embraces you, nutures you and help build you back up after being broken, hurt, beatem down, and feeling desolate. I absolutely love what they stand for and will definitely become a member, they have supported my organisation, and have made it possible for me to carry out the work we do in the community.

THANK YOU HARM TO HEALING FOR ALL YOU DO! 💯🫡
