The March: what happened

Something happened that we couldn't ignore.
On 28 March, around 500,000 people marched through London with the Together Alliance. Among them was a Birmingham bloc: eight organisations, hundreds of people, six coaches. It was organised by our very own Lakshnie Hettihewa, starting from her living room in Moseley.
So we have produced a bonus episode of our podcast, The Quiet Revolution.
You'll hear Lakshnie narrate the journey through audio journals recorded along the way. You will hear her in the car with her family, at the assembly point, and in the crowd. You will hear voices from across the Birmingham bloc: grassroots activists, organisers who have marched for decades, and people who showed up for the first time.
In Series 1, The Quiet Revolution took listeners inside organisations. This episode goes outside, to the communities where the work of anti-racism is lived every day, not just in boardrooms but on streets, on coaches, and around kitchen tables.
It is a different kind of episode. Raw, immediate, and made on the move.
