Standing shoulder to shoulder with UK communities on the frontlines of environmental, social and racial injustice

So We Stand

We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with UK communities on the frontlines of environmental, social and racial injustice. Through the pillars of popular education, creative action, anti oppression, we are building a culture of community self defence by organising with communties of resistance to connect the dots between all forms of oppression.

As a grassroots movement of people who consciously work for empowering social change, we work collectively to develop multiracial politics and self-defence strategies for environmental and climate justice. DIY Popular Education Collective is our trading name and the training ground for popular educators.

So We Stand is committed to making links between struggles for justice. We work to provide support to groups and individuals, and to link up communities and groups that share similar experiences and goals. Read more
