Thanet knows how to get political. If theres an issue to be dealt with, people get together and make things happen. We thought it would be great to bring together some of the activist groups in the area to introduce their organisations to us, and discuss how we can support each other, and where the intersections of the activism can cross cover and wider change can come by working together. We were lucky enough to talk to Thanet XR, Margate Pride, POW!, Rise Up, Clean Up, and People Dem Collective. The conversation is a fascinating look into what happens when communities take it upon themselves to be the change. Thank you to everyone that gave their time to talk to Naomi for this podcast, its an awesome capsule of Thanets activism in 2021.
