Stop Arming Repression

Let’s put human rights first

The UK sells weapons to over 100 countriues around the world, including many where violent repression occurs. Let’s stop subsidising arms, and put the moneyi nto renewable energy.

Our Shared Future

Be the friendly face of Brum

Refugees are fleeing from danger in their home country and come to britain to ask for safety. Let’s show that Brum is a welcoming city, proud to be a place of sanctuary.

People of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities are valuable members of our community: our diversity makes us stronger. Let’s make sure that LGBT people are accepted and celebrated in our society.

Faiths for a Low Carbon Future

The Earth is a beautiful gift.

This winter, scientists and world leaders are meeting in Paris for a climate summit. Whether you follow a faith tradition or not, let’s make sure they hear our demand for a low-carbon future.

What can we do to create peace in our city?

Let’s celebrate the positive people, places & organisations that are already helping to make peace in our city and think about what we can all do to help our community.

Taking a Stand

Let’s support freedom of conscience

100 years on from the Conscription Act, we need to work for peace & justice, but this often bring activists into conflict with theauthorities: many people are still put in prison for standing up for their beliefs today.

Grub's Up!

Making our Food Sustainable

Factory farming is damaging our health and environment, increasing inequality and harming animals. But by supporting small-scale sustainable farms we can have fair, affordable food for everyone.

Time to Bin Trident
