Keep up to date with our work

We produce three newsletters that will keep you informed about the Equality Collective and our projects. The Equality Collective newsletter will keep you up-to-date with any new developments in our organisation as well as our right to water, right to early childhood development (ECD) and access to justice work. The second newsletter is on the Real Reform for ECD movement which is a national movement advocating for holistic, well-funded, inclusive and quality ECD services for all children, and our third newsletter is about the #RiseUpADM coalition which aims to strengthen the civil society sector in the Amathole District Municipality region.
