Founder of the #BookmarkProject raising money for Katiyo Primary School in Zimbabwe by auctioning bookmarks each May. Teacher, Holocaust Educator, Brownie Leader

The Bookmark Project founded in 2017 is a charity auction run by 1st Burley-in-Wharfedale Brownies from West Yorkshire in the UK. The Bookmark Project raises money for Katiyo Primary School in Zimbabwe- by auctioning online bookmarks doodled by authors, illustrators and celebrities. Since we started in 2017 we have raised £80,000 which has bought an English language reading scheme, built blocks of toilets, helped to safeguard the local water supply, purchased exam supplies and has just finished building a block of three nursery classrooms for the youngest children at the school who have never previously had their own classrooms. Our next goal is to build and fill a school library.

Calling all authors & illustrators & artists we would love you to create a bookmark for the 2026 #BookmarkProject which we will auction to raise money to build a library at Katiyo Primary School in Zimbabwe find out more here www.bookmarkproject.co.uk Please share!

Due process matters, for citizens and non-citizens. Everyone is entitled to due process.
Traumatizing children is wrong.
Immigrants with and without family who are citizens are people.

ICE recently deported 5-year-old Génesis Ester Gutiérrez Castellanos, a U.S. citizen without access to legal counsel or a hearing. The trauma and chaos of this case show the rampant due process violations that are tearing families apart.

I found a petition to ban smart glasses in public spaces that needs a bit of a boost, if anyone else feels strongly about this: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...
Petition: Ban the use of smart glasses with recording capability in public spaces
We ask the Government to ban smart glasses with cameras in public spaces. We believe they allow secret filming, and undermine privacy, safety and the public’s right to know when they’re being recorded...
