Yesterday, Paul and Jessie, Chair of our Police Accountability Group, spoke to @tarahwelshreports from @bbclondon on the new special measures brought against the Met Police.

Since 1998, multiple reports have demonstrated the systemic problems of racism and malpractice within the Metropolitan Police Service. When the Met doesn’t even have a leader at the moment, how are they going to really take accountability?

We are proud of our young people speaking up on important issues impacting them & their communities.

We are excited to announce our 2-Week Summer Schem

We are excited to announce our 2-Week Summer Scheme running in August in Hackney. All participants are guaranteed a space on our Young Leaders course from September.

On the 16 May, the Home Office announced that rest

On the 16 May, the Home Office announced that restrictions on the police's use of stop of and search will be permanently lifted.

'Removing these restrictions means that more officers can authorise section 60, the powers can be in place for longer and can be used when police anticipate that serious violence ‘may’ occur rather than ‘will’ occur.'

Section 60 allows a police officer to stop and search a person without suspicion.

This comes in the wake of the Child Q case and the more recent revelations of another 15-year-old Black girl having been strip searched the same month as Child Q.

The statistics show that black children and adults will be disproportionately affected by these increased powers. Home Office figures show that black people are seven times more likely to be stopped across England and Wales, with the vast majority of stops leading to no further action.

Voyage and our Young Leaders are committed to campaigning for change and an end to the overpolicing of black and ethnic-minority communities.

These fantastic pictures of Voyage Young Leaders were taken by @mariejacquemn during our visit to Greenpeace's London HQ on 14 May. Big thanks to Meena and the amazing team at Greenpeace for supporting our young people. Wishing Meena the best for the beautiful birth of her baby!

This past weekend Voyage young people visited @greenpeaceuk’s Warehouse and London HQ in Islington for a fantastic day of learning, creating and inspiring. Check out some of the stuff they got up to!

Luyanda, a Voyage Young Leader, said this about her day:
‘I think this was a great opportunity to learn and expand our wider knowledge about Pollution, Recycling and activism in such an interactive, fun way. I was able to have great conversations with people within Greenpeace, touch up my spray painiting skills and learn how to make successful activism banners.’

HUGE thanks to Sandra, Nathan and the rest of the team at Greenpeace for hosting us. We can’t wait to come back!

Last Saturday, members of our Youth Advisory Board

Last Saturday, members of our Youth Advisory Board (YAB) and Youth Investigator Network (YIN) met with reps from the @museumofthehome to discuss plans for the Geffrye Statue Project. The meeting included team building exercises and explored sensitive solutions for the statue’s display.

Our young people originally voiced their concerns about the Geffrye statue in 2020, following the George Floyd incident and the toppling of Edward Colston’s statue in Bristol.

They also discussed how Voyage and our YAB & YIN can collaborate with the museum moving forward and help inform plans for the Geffrye statue’s removal.

Big thanks to Danielle from the Museum and to Voyage’s Duane!

Third in the Hearts Over Mind Series, we have an essay by Ahmad Faisal Muhibzada (Vice-chair of YAB) on Education during the Tory Culture Wars.

Ahmad writes about the Tories' education policy and its impact on his own schooling. The government has called for 'political impartiality' in education. This includes providing a 'balanced' view of empire and banning the advocating of BLM. Ahmad recognises the curriculum's failure to properly address Britain's history of imperialism and the enduring reality of racism.

We will be continuing to share blogs from the Heart Over Mind Series over the next few months, written by YAB members and other young Graduates.

This week members of our Youth Advisory Board (YAB) were interviewed on @bbcnews by @tarahwelshreports on the Child Q case.

Giovanni, Rhoda, Tosin, Jannelle, and our other Young Leaders spoke profoundly on the case and the reality of widespread police mistreatment of minorities and minors. Our young people highlight the importance of listening to youth voices on issues directly affecting them and their communities.

Watch a clip from the full story on the BBC’s website (link in our bio).
