YCS/JSO Talk Training
An edited version of a 1.5hr training delivered by Anthony Shuster for the Freedom Tour in 2021.

Episode 4 - Bradford
Bradford was a whirlwind! We were hosted by the two most gorgeous people, Dusty and Lou, and had some wicked campaigns join our Crisis Talk in City Park. Bradford's been called a sanctuary city, we can see why!

BONUS EPISODE - Freedom Tour meets Billy from Grimsby
We met Billy on our trip to Grimsby, and even though our trip was cut shut by a Covid debacle, we were so inspired by his work that we recorded a little chat with him.
Our question is What’s Next? And what we’re hoping is that this moment of Covid crisis might be leading us to a world where power is shared much more equally, where communities decide together what matters to them and where care not profit is the guiding ethos. All this can sound pie in the sky which is why we want to share Billy’s work in Grimsby, because it’s all already happening!
Listen in to learn about community wealth building, changing the world one community at a time, organising educational programs and more!
Episode 1 - Durham
So we landed in Durham and got to work. We cooked food, had chats, learnt loads, made friends and dreamed of a better world!
Lots of gratitude to Mamoud for joining us from the Abolish Hassockfield campaign (facebook.com/abolish-detention-hassockfield). More information about our Durham trip here: https://freedomtour.uk/news/2021/06/19/.
