Everyday Activism in Coventry

Just sitting in the Central Library and reading through August issues of the Evening Telegraph shows that an incredible amount of social justice and green activity is going on in Coventry every month.

Examples include:

- Holy Family Catholic Primary School (on Penny Park Lane) receiving £1000 from Powergen for an energy efficiency project
- the King Henry VIII school's Parents Association receiving £500 towards a cycling proficiency day
- Jody Gordon (at Whitefriars) being recognised for a project to raise awareness of the experiences of refugees and asylum seekers in Coventry
- the ongoing work that links Nyogbare Primary in Kenya with Southfields Primary School (most recently, teacher training, and the digging of a well)

In many ways, green and social justice activism is now the mainstream.
