The murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer a year ago sparked a historic wave of global protests and a massive upsurge in the #BlackLivesMatter movement.

Without that movement, Derek Chauvin would likely have never appeared in court, and George Floyd's family would never have obtained justice. The movement also played a major role in the defeat of Donald Trump, the world's no 1 racist.

But structural racism and police violence is far from over.

In Britain, Black people are nine times more likely to face stop and search than white people - 18 times more likely under Section 60, where no reasonable suspicion is required.

The COVID-19 Crisis has disproportionately affected BAME communities in a huge way medically and economically, with thousands of preventable deaths and hundreds of thousands more forced into poverty.

Most shamefully, there is the endless list of deaths in police custody - where no British police officer has ever faced prosecution.

Instead of addressing this, the British Government responded to the #blacklivesmatter movement by launching a major racist offensive with a ‘Race Report’ that denies the reality of institutional racism, a Police and Crime bill targeting antiracists and a wave of legislation attacking refugee and migrant rights.….

Chair Venda Premkumar Joint branch & district secretary Redbridge NEU

Boris Johnson’s race commission has caused outrage by its denial in of the realities of institutional racism - and its undermining of attempts to examine the legacy of Britain’s history of slavery and colonialism.

The fact that the Commission considered imposing its ‘truth’ about Britain on teachers and students through a government approved textbook is even more concerning.

After a year of pandemic that has hit black communities disproportionately and in the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement, the government is determined to deny the reality of racism.

It has targeted the BLM movement in its new police bill, while stoking up the scapegoating of refugees and migrants with Priti Patel’s new asylum legislation.

But whatever the government says - as events at Pimlico school in London have so recently shown - the need to fight for anti acist education and to combat institutional racism is more important than ever.

BLACK LIVES MATTER
NO TO RACISM, ISLAMOPHOBIA, ANTISEMITISM, SINOPHOBIA, ANTI-ROMA RACISM AND FASCISM
REFUGEES WELCOME, DEFEND MIGRANT RIGHTS
DEFEND THE RIGHT TO PROTEST

On March 20, 2021, UN Anti-Racism Day, events are taking place in cities, communities and online events around the world.

The growth of the Black Lives Matter movement has shone a fresh spotlight on the horrific levels of racism in Britain, the US and internationally, and played a major role in the defeat of Donald Trump, the world's number one racist. This growing, powerful force has the potential to strike serious blows against racism, Islamophobia and antisemitism.

Structural racism & health inequalities mean the coronavirus epidemic is continuing to disproportionately impact BAME communities. The British Government is attacking and vilifying refugees and migrants to distract from its failings. It is also attempting to blame Muslim and other communities for spreading the virus, further fanning the flames of racism and putting even more lives in danger.

On March 20 2021 we come together united against racism, Islamophobia, antisemitism and fascism. We stand in solidarity with refugees and migrants to send a powerful message to those in power that racism will be defeated.….

Speakers include: Rev Jesse Jackson, Diane Abbott MP, Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP, Kwame Kwei-Armah plus leading anti-racist & civil rights campaigners from the US & UK

Where Next for the Anti-Racist Movement?

It has become impossible to ignore the disproportionate effect of state violence on Black communities worldwide but especially in the United States and the UK.

The sheer scale of the recent global protests is reflective of the fact that the murder of George Floyd is not an isolated incident. The protests also come at a time when Black communities in the US and the UK feel that they have been deliberately endangered in the response to Covid-19 and deprioritised in general.

Diane Abbott MP and Rev. Jesse Jackson will be joined on Friday by notable members of the civil rights movement and anti-racist campaigners for a special discussion exploring 'What Next for the Anti-Racist Movement in the UK and the US?'.

SPEAKERS INCLUDE
