SCROLL
We’re standing up and using our voices to demand action from local councils, the Mayor of London, and the UK Parliament. It’s time to tackle air pollution with strong action and big changes, and make doing the things we live and breathe for safe and healthy.
We demand more and better green spaces, where we can access the clean air outdoor.
More resources should be directed towards communities that lack access to green spaces, transforming under-utilised spaces and school streets where young people will benefit.
We want more and diverse trees planted across London to restore our city's biodiversity, improve air quality and to fight the effects of climate change on our neighbourhoods.
The community's and especially young people's right to access green spaces must not be sacrificed under the guise of tackling antisocial behaviour, preserving aesthetics or prioritising car access.
We stand against threats to close our green spaces and urge local authorities to ensure our green spaces are well maintained.
We demand better and affordable transport, where no matter where or who we are - we can get where we need to go easily, without relying on cars
We need investment in buses, trains and trams to ensure that public transport is always the most convenient and most affordable way to travel around London.
Our infrastructure and roads need to be adapted to prioritise the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and wheelchair users, and to ensure that active travel remains accessible to everyone.
Our high streets should be pedestrian friendly and prioritise people over cars. Creating car-free school streets means young people can thrive without being impacted by air pollution.
Free public transport is already a reality in over 100 cities, whilst the tube has the most expensive fares of any metro in the world. We know what’s possible when we put passengers over profit.
Partnering with LIVE + BREATHE has been instrumental in connecting us with other like-minded value-driven communities within South London. Thanks to LIVE + BREATHE, we’ll be holding an event focused one creating awareness of pollution in our city and bringing together our community of artists with Poetic Unity and Live + Breathe. Because of LIVE + BREATHE, we now have a billboard on Peckham High Street featuring Orii Community, which brings us a huge amount of joy, and should hopefully attract new audiences to our events.
Partnering with LIVE + BREATHE has been crucial in a helping us engage young people in South London in discussing social issues and environmental justice. Funding from Live + Breathe has helped us create the Clean Air For The Ends campaign which has seen us host an event and activation involving hundreds of people in the community.
I LIVE + BREATHE for freedom of expression – Our FUTURE relies on the air we breathe TODAY! Who is going to stand up for the vulnerable and those who do not know about the silent killer, that is air pollution? Why should we suffer and be quiet about this silent toxic killer! Standing up is better than being six feet under. The future needs clean air/ we all deserve to live in a space that has clean air.
Many people are not aware of the importance of clean air and how air pollution can harm our health. I LIVE + BREATHE for the right to breathe life.
I LIVE + BREATHE for the next generation. I’m taking a stand for cleaner air becuase everyone deserves a better quality of life. A hazard is much more dangerous when you can’t see it
Clean air is right for everyone, it’s vital for our health and quality of life. Air pollution can kill, so we need to hold the government responsible in protecting us. I LIVE + BREATHE for my people, won’t stop until we’re all equal
