Went to see London Renters Union showing of their film Hostile Housing today - powerful stories of pain and suffering in the housing crisis. Good to see many Hackney Labour policies align with Renters Union’s work - calling for rent controls and landlord licensing in Hackney.

The Unitarian Chapel in Newington Green is holding a multi faith 24-hour vigil tonight, reading the names of all (recorded) who have died in Gaza and Israel since 7 October 2023. Reading each person’s name and age felt like a small but powerful act of shared mourning.

Enjoyed the afternoon at @hackneyfixers.bsky.social Hackney Fixing Factory working out why our ancient projector won’t work to show our home movies from the ‘90s. Saw a toaster and a coffee grinder being repaired. Many happy fixers enjoying taking stuff apart and putting it back together. #fixfest
