Our Hands, Our Mouths – Poverty and Resistance

The latest survey by Debt Justice shows the shocking impact of the Conservative Government’s austerity measures by revealing that a record 6.7 million people in Britain are in financial difficulty. This event, by Writing on the Wall and the Poverty Research & Advocacy Network (PRAN), has been organised to respond to the ongoing cost-of-living crisis and the unprecedented and devastating level of poverty in the UK. Featuring some of the most powerful and prominent voices standing up against poverty and social injustice today, including Prof Danny Dorling (University of Oxford), Prof Imogen Tylor (Lancaster University), Liam Thorp (Liverpool Echo), Ian Byrne MP (Liverpool West Derby), and Amina Ismail (Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine), will also explore and celebrate examples and opportunities for supporting resistance to austerity and poverty by communities across the country.

This event is a partnership event between WoW and the Poverty Research and Advocacy Network (PRAN), an independent, collectively run advocacy network which aims to bring together various stakeholders to amplify voices fighting against poverty and injustice, both regionally and nationally.
