Our new series '25 Years of the Living Wage: A Movement in Pictures' is out! 📽️
In 2001, communities marched down Mile End Road calling for a Living Wage in East London. Listen to Bernadette Harris reflect on why this moment mattered then, and why it is still relevant today. 🌟
A powerful reminder of what happens when communities come together. Being with grassroots leaders from across London today, exploring the housing challenges faced by communities and celebrating the work across our alliance.
