In May 2021, a UK Home Office dawn raid triggered one of the most spontaneous and successful acts of civil resistance in recent memory. In Pollokshields, Scotland’s most diverse neighbourhood, hundreds of residents rushed to the streets to stop the deportation of their neighbours. In today’s political environment of immigration raids, deportation flights, and border violence, Everybody to Kenmure Street is an empowering reminder of the power of collective action.

The screening will be followed by a casual chat with Southwark & Lambeth Anti Raids (@slantiraids) about their local organising work and how to get involved.

All are welcome, no matter your organising experience. The film is rated 12A.

All ticket revenue will be donated to Southwark and Lambeth Anti Raids after event costs are covered. Organised by april forrest lin 林森 as part of a series of London community screenings.
