The UK’s leading far-right figure was on Saturday detained by police under terrorism legislation at London’s Heathrow airport, after a week in which he played a key role in encouraging protests that later turned violent in Northern Ireland https://ft.trib.al/TetIep0

When hate feels loud, we choose to celebrate love 💜

🎉This week, we’re thrilled to celebrate that Jomiloju, a woman in our network, has finally received her status after spending a long time in limbo.

🗣️ “I fled my country with my kids for safety. All I wanted was a better life for my children away from violence...”

“It was a very long and rough road since I arrived in the UK... Until a friend introduced me to WRW and I started attending activities with them 3 times a week, my life changed. Their support and company brought a smile to my face.’’

“WRW was a lifeline for me, and knowing that I can turn to them whenever I'm stuck gives me great relief at all times.’’

“I have finally received my status after a long time. It's still like a dream to me, and I keep asking myself if this is really happening after all the uncertainty, frustration, and struggles.”

During a week where hate and hostility dominates, it is more important than ever to celebrate great news. Jomiloju’s news reminds us why this work matters and why we do what we do.

When the noise of hate and fear fills the air, we turn to our community for strength, resilience, and hope.

Solidarity will always prevail. 🤝
