In order to act with the transparency we hope this project will have at it’s core, we wanted to be clear who is involved at the start, and offer names and a little bit about ourselves.

Bevan - coming up on 20 years in movements for social, environmental, economic and migrant justice. Returned home to Sheffield a few years ago and has mostly been involved in social eating spaces, principally trying to politicise them as part of Foodhall Project. Radicalised by a Class Work Project workshop in early 2020.

D Hunter- is an ex-prisoner, drug addict and houseless person now PhD candidate at UoM researching working-class resistance, he is the author of two books, co-founder of the Class Work Project and has been active in social justice movements for 20 years. I moved to Sheffield this year with my partner and child.

A fundamental principle of this project is for funding and other political decision-making to be in the hands of working class people and we will be actively working towards that from the off. Our backgrounds are in different parts of the working class, but we have accumulated economic, social and cultural capital during our lives and as such do not view ourselves as the working-class organisers and activists who should be making decisions regarding what gets funded. If you think you are, please get in touch via the “Get Involved” page of this site.

As Sheffield Redistribution's basic infrastructure gets built, our work will be as administrative as possible, although we acknowledge that even within that work power and political decision making are at play. We will aim to be informed by our roots and our experiences to make choices that support the work done by working-class people during future stages of Sheffield Redistribution.

For more info on how funding decisions will be made please go to "How we work".

We are looking for other Sheffield Residents to get involved. Those who are passionate about economic inequality and class solidarity. And remember the more economic capital you have the less decision making power you'll have.

Anyone is welcome, although skills in website production, design, book keeping and facilitation would be particularly useful.
