We the Change: A Night of Power

On 15th October, RECLAIM and Young Manchester put on a creative campaign event called ‘We the Change: A Night of Power’. We brought together Manchester activists and performers to inspire and encourage young people into campaigning.

Mea is a Project Officer from Kids of Colour and is working on campaigns such as No Police in Schools.

Akeim used to be on RECLAIM’s programmes and now runs Manchester Job Opportunities. His dedication to the community has resulted in him being awarded a British Empire Medal from the Queen in 2017.

Charlotte is a working-class changemaker and one of the founding members of Youth Strike 4 Climate Manchester.

We saw performances from Beyond Labels Collective, a spoken word group of young people from East Lancashire...

And KYSO Club, a Music and Performing Art Agency based in Mosside consisting of young people aged 13-21...
