Comedian and campaigner Francesca Martinez, on why she is backing the Counterfire appeal

Counterfire is doing vital work in building public movements and pressuring those in charge to listen to the millions of us who are currently unrepresented by our government.

From Stop The War to the People’s Assembly Against Austerity, they’ve been a driving force for peace and positive social change.

It’s so important that groups such as Counterfire get the support they need to keep growing so they can continue to speak up and fight for the voiceless.
