Karen Leach was on BBC Radio West Midlands talking about the threat to the building and campaign to save the Birmingham Friends of the Earth Warehouse. Catch Karen's segment from 2h 11 to 2h 19: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Nice writeup of the demolition threat to the Warehouse, by Rebecca Nolten in the Birmingham Express today. We'd add that there are also major impacts on conservation & local economy and query the value for money of the current proposal. birminghamexpress.co.uk/local/digbet...

People asked for more info on how to respond to the MRHA consultation so we've put a guide together: birminghamfoe.org.uk/further-info...

Tonight at BRIG Cafe at the Warehouse! Music of Defiance & Celebration - 7pm til late 🎵✊🎉

We support better public transport -we've campaigned for decades- & it can be achieved without our community hub being demolished. Plans are in the early stages, so please fill in the consultation to encourage other options. It's open until 28th August. Info at birminghamfoe.org.uk/help-us-save...

We're horrified by this news. Please help us by responding to the consultation. We support the rail improvements but it does NOT have to mean losing a precious resource for the whole city that has been five decades in the making. Another way is possible! birminghamfoe.org.uk/help-us-save...
