The University of Leicester is helping to organise a Journey to Justice Festival in October at Attenborough Arts Centre. Journey to Justice is a charity aiming to use education to inspire future
activists. They have created a travelling exhibition about the US civil rights
movement and in every city they visit, they also try to showcase local stories
about social activism.
The University is researching stories in Leicester and they want to include a local story about environmental
justice. One of the organisers came to our April meeting to ask for our help. So, if you've been involved in environmental campaigning in Leicester, tell us one (or more) of your stories! We're interested in any environmental campaigns - it doesn't matter how long ago they happened. Here are some questions to get you started:
- When did this happen?
- What were you campaigning for?
- What did you do for your campaign?
- Who helped?
- What happened as a result of the campaign?
If you've got photos or leaflets to accompany your story, we would love those too (images of leaflets would be fine - no need to send originals). Please email us with your stories: leicesterfoe@gmail.com Let us know whether you are happy for us to pass on your contact details to the University researchers and then you may see your story included in the exhibition!
