A very constructive visit to #Birmingham over the last couple of days as we lay the foundations for a first @sanctuaryrunner.bsky.social group in the City. We'll be launching it on Sunday, August 16th @ the Unity 5KM event as part of the European Athletic Championships. Lets Do it. #Solidarity

I'm an awkward fundraiser. It doesn't come naturally.

Our sincere thanks to Neale Richmond, Minister of State for International Development for his support this week. This video of the Minister welcoming the world to join in our #GlobalSolidarityRun on October 11th was heartfelt and very much appreciated this week. It was played at our Osaka launch.

So fortunate this morning to spend a couple of hours with Keiko Tanaka, founder of Rafiq (a refugee support NGO) in Osaka in the company of long time Sanctuary Runner Hirohiko Katayama. We spoke of their work and the huge difficulties faced by refugees in Japan. Learned so much. #Solidarity

Today marks nine years since Jo Cox was assassinated by a far-right extremist, a terrible loss to those who knew and loved her and to politics. Zero lessons were learned though and the far-right continues to be pandered to. With more political assassinations in the US it all feels too familiar.

Pls don't take your eyes off what is happening to the people of Gaza today, the purposeful genocide & starvation of an entire population They want you to look elsewhere, they want you to be overwhelmed The blood lust is depraved-And those who supply the cover as bad as those who pull the trigger

No rest for the wicked: despite having just launched an all-out war on #Iran, Israel continues to simultaneously slaughter civilians in #Gaza. The only language they understand is violence. www.rte.ie/news/world/2...

Israeli fire kills 23 people in Gaza, many at aid site

Israeli fire and airstrikes killed at least 23 people across Gaza, most of them near an aid distribution site operated by the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, local health authorities said.
