Land Ownership & Racial Justice

Stir to Action Festival

In this session with Land in our Names and Shared Assets, we'll explore the relationship between land and race in the UK. In particular, it will focus on how colonialism, displacement, and migration have shaped our land system, and how those histories impact on land access, ownership, food inequalities, health outcomes, and environmental connection, and what needs to change in the land system to help deliver racial justice. Speaker bio Josina Calliste is a co-founder of Land In Our Names, aiming to disrupt oppressive land dynamics relating to BPOC communities in Britain. Mark Walton is a co-founder of Shared Assets, a think and do tank that supports the development of new models of managing land for the common good.
