“Activists are coming together to work in service of overlapping and intersecting fights for equality”

The beginning of any new chapter in our lives is never easy and it certainly doesn’t get any easier as we get older. As I embark on the next chapter of my professional career, after 10 years at the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS), I’m met with so much that I don’t know, so much I want to learn right now – and the hurdle of time. While no new journey is easy, these first eight months at Kaleidoscope Trust have been some of the most fulfilling, if exhausting, of my career. But I am motivated and inspired by the team at Kaleidoscope Trust and the grassroots organisers, organisations and activists we work in service of around the world.
