]]> Yesterday I visited the beloved Sutton Coldfield institution: ReUsers and Wood Shack on Norris Way. I love the the way this charity shop restores and recycles unwanted furniture, bikes, wood and electrical goods, saving them from landfill and creating the circular economy we aspire to have. However, I did not know that the charity behind the shop, Jericho, is much more radically caring. The Jericho Fountataion helps and employs people who are the victims of human trafficking and forced into modern slavery in Britain. Those people, who are generally not the refugees arriving in small boats, are entrapped by organised crime, trafficked to the UK and get forced into bonded labour at car washes, nail salons, brothels, drug manufacturers, etc. We have to crack down hard on traffickers and those who enslave people, but we must also get rid of the hostile environment of our immigration services that harms the victims of this appalling black market of labour. When you hear politicians petulantly say “illegal immigrants” this election, remember, that these are the people they are talking about.

]]> Following the sad loss of Jack Dromey, MP for Erdington since 2010, the Green Party candidate in the forthcoming by-election on 3 March will be Siobhan Harper-Nunes.

As a businesswoman and community activist, Siobhan has over 20 years’ experience of forging partnerships and supporting community organisations to secure vital funds for local projects in Birmingham.

“My entire career has been about supporting communities of space and place to flourish.

My offer is simple, I will put the needs of Erdington residents first and work tirelessly to get things done.

I know the power of one voice, but when we work together, amazing things happen.

I joined the Green Party because it epitomises my ideals and my values. It’s time for change. We all deserve so much better.”

For the past year Siobhan has been volunteering in Erdington, listening to residents, getting things fixed, litter-picking and during lockdown, delivering hot food to the elderly.

Siobhan is a “can do” activist. That’s why the party has nominated her as candidate for Erdington.

Promoted and published by Margaret Okole on behalf of Siobhan Harper-Nunes (Green Party), both at 21 South Road, Birmingham B18 5NA
