“Let This Radicalise You Rather Than Lead You to Despair” In a world where there is so much hostility towards those seeking sanctuary, it can be hard to stay positive. This beautiful quote, by the activist and educator Mariame Kaba, is a favourite at Project MAMA. It’s a reminder—amidst the aggression, chaos of policy change, poor hotel conditions, and last-minute dispersal notifications—to turn anger into action. If you want to join the fight, why not volunteer to support people who have been displaced? Project MAMA would love more passionate midwives, doulas, therapists, and health visitors to join our Mother Companion team. Get in touch if you want to lend your skills and solidarity. We’ll also share in the comments some of our partners, both in Bristol and across the UK, where you can get involved and help make a difference! 💛 (fb)
