Unite The People

The Unite The People catch ups at the BRIG Café are bringing together activists, artists, organisers and anyone interested in celebrating creativity, connecting communities to build a movement, and help shape the 2026 Unite The People Festival Rally.

About Unite The People:

Unite The People is a city-wide cultural movement for justice, peace and a future beyond racism. Born in response to far-right division and hate, we bring people across Birmingham and the West Midlands together to celebrate our multi-cultural and multi-faith region.

Come, share your realities, build solidarity, and make new friends in the ongoing fight against racism targeting our communities and neighbourhoods.

Together we are stronger. Your voices and support create the foundation of our movement. It starts and grows with you.

Unite The People will host its official Festival Launch on Saturday 2 May (6–10pm) at the Midland Arts Centre (MAC), transforming the outdoor arena into a lively, carnival-style space filled with live music, spoken word poetry, food and community action.

*Unite The People (UTP) is a collaboration between Birmingham Race Impact Group (BRIG), Stand Up to Racism Birmingham, Kings Heath United Against Racism (KHUAR), and community partners across Birmingham.

Thanks to Gary Younge and colleagues, supported by funding from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, for enabling the Unite the People check-ins at the BRIG (Birmingham Race Impact Group) café.
