SUMMARY:Moving Roots: Diaspora Communities x Climate Action
DESCRIPTION:To celebrate Refugee Week and London Climate Action Week\, Climate Outreach is hosting an event exploring the interconnections between climate action\, migration and diaspora communities. \nAccording to the latest RACE report*\, the UK’s climate sector remains one of the least diverse in the UK\, despite climate change impacting all of us. We know the UK’s society is made up of many diverse diaspora communities connected to cultures\, lands and communities all over the world. \nMany of these groups are playing a key role in ensuring the climate change conversation includes their community’s voices and that climate action is shaped by their unique challenges and experiences. \nIn partnership with Counterpoints Arts\, this event aims to highlight the integral role diaspora communities play in supporting and providing agency to those impacted by climate change and climate-driven migration\, despite often not being included in the conversation. \nWe will also showcase the creative and unique ways diaspora members and leaders are taking climate action and making vital links to their cultures and community spaces\, ensuring the climate conversation includes people from all backgrounds and represents diverse experiences. \nJoin the event to hear from: \n– Fahmida Miah\, Climate Outreach \n– Farah Ahmed\, Our Diaspora Futures \n– Jebi Rahman\, Bangladeshi Diaspora Climate Action (BDCA) \n– Zamzam Ibrahim\, Somalis for Sustainability \n– Ania Drewniok\, POMOC \nAlongside the panel discussion\, there will be delicious plant-based food served\, an artistic performance\, and opportunities to connect with others in the climate and migrant justice space! \nSign up before 20th June to attend. \nBOOK HERE! \n* Racial Action for the Climate Emergency (www.race-report.uk) \n* Photo credit: Photo by Zen Chung from Pexels: https://www.pexels.com/photo/women-gardening-5529587/

SUMMARY:Dokhol দখল ’84: Housing Policy and Migration (Postponed)
DESCRIPTION:This event has been postponed from 29 June; the new date will be announced here shortly. \nA panel of artists\, activists and architects share stories of housing activism in past movements and present-day campaigns. \nArtist Sonia Uddin’s project Dokhol দখল ’84 is an important starting point which looks at how Bengali homeless families who were housed in appalling conditions in hostels took on the Council\, occupying Camden Town Hall in 1984. The collective organising power of this movement was captured in the archival materials which she shares as an important\, historical archive. \nHousing policy affects and applies to many across the country\, including migrants. Join us\, creatives and activists\, on the day to learn about community empowerment and how to harness collective action in order to fight for housing as a basic human right that should be available to all. \nFree. \nIn partnership with Southbank Centre and part of Refugee Week 2025.
