There was great enthusiasm to attend the first in-person Solidarity Hub since 2019. Over 80 activists, faith leaders, NGO and community workers gathered in Johannesburg to reflect on their social justice practice and to find opportunities for collaboration in deepening solidarity with those who struggle for dignity. You can get a taste of the vibrant conversations and energy of the event in this 6-minute highlights video. You can watch interviews on the work of ACT Ubumbano by some participants at the Hub here.

The team at ACT Ubumbano wish everyone a happy holiday season, and for those who celebrate the birth of Christ at this time, may the joy of Christmas be with you, your family and your community. It is a time to find strength in each other so that we can go into the new year renewed in our commitment to love, dignity, justice and solidarity with those under stress. The team will take some time off, and the office will be closed from 15^th December until the first week of January 2023.
