Fab article from @GavAitchison couldn& #39;t agree more. To say you& #39;re & #39;giving voice& #39; reinforces the narrative of passive victims and the sector as saviours...1/4 https://twitter.com/GavAitchison/status/1250097672301817858">https://twitter.com/GavAitchi...

As part of the anti pov sector we need to be conscious of the impact of the & #39;give voice& #39; approach which can result in taking up space with our own brand. Instead we could ask ourselves how we support people to have their own platform to speak for themselves. 2/4

This is something @jrf_uk are exploring and learning alongside our partners as we go. How to work alongside in solidarity with those on issues they have prioritised. @ApleCollective @Poverty2Sols @povertytruthnet @PTCScotland (and others who don& #39;t have twitter!) 3/4

And part of this is how we share the platform we already have. Where we are invited in to share expertise, to ask that space be offered to pple to speak for themselves. Rather than speaking on behalf of. Through doing so, push for a more inclusive and diverse civil society. 4/4
