What could 'Human Shield' and 'Reclaim the Metro' have in common? They're both the names of creative and radical actions taken by everyday people across Tyne & Wear to stamp out Islamophobia, misogyny and hate crime in their community.

Join us for this episode as we hear the story of how leaders of different faiths and non-faith backgrounds literally stood up against the English Defence League (EDL), a far-right hate group. Picture yourself joining them as they handed out roses to strangers on public transport, and celebrate with us as we explore how they won a transformative Hate Crime Charter making the streets safer for all.
