Grace shares the nuances & complexities of mixed heritage identities, & the language around these terms so beautifully!

We know racialised young people may be feeling anxious after the football result, particularly with videos already circulating of racist abuse.

Manchester young people, we are here if you need support.

(3/3) "...When you say Palestinian Lives Matter, say no end to climate change without an end to settler colonialism. When you say Palestine will be free, say that this earth will be saved." @___tallulahm

[Decolonise UoM @DecoloniseUoM]

(1/3) @___tallulahm 's latest brilliant article 'Decolonial Environmentalism' unpacks how building an environmentally just future must address the colonial project, settler colonialism, colonial ecology & greenwashing 👏👏https://t.co/853WBhnLt6

[Decolonise UoM @DecoloniseUoM]

(2/3) "...When you say Black Lives Matter, say that anything above 1.5 degrees of warming is entirely unacceptable to that cause. When you say Defund the Police, say that net carbon emissions by 2050 compromises lives." @___tallulahm

@SaraBafo1 Do you mind if we DM to ask how you went about this or if you happen to have an email template? Would appreciate any advice you may have so we can attempt to carry the same out at @OfficialUoM !

[Decolonise UoM @DecoloniseUoM]

@SaraBafo1 Amazing work !!

[Decolonise UoM @DecoloniseUoM]

Incredible !!!

The university has agreed to our proposal to incorporate ‘racial trauma’ as a reason to defer essays and exams for Black and PoC students, it will be done through self-certification (moving away from providing so called evidence). 💥💥

Here is the link for the empty BLM statement by @SocialResponUoM which states that "We at The University of Manchester condemn all racist violence and oppression." https://t.co/C4YkDa1zUA

[Decolonise UoM @DecoloniseUoM]

@OfficialUoM's continued relationship with Tel Aviv University is in violation of its commitment to oppose racist violence and oppression. The open letter that was signed by 224 PhD students & staff https://t.co/lGdUIUJ4RQ

What’s going on here then?!

Spotted in Manchester 👀

Young people need support not suspicion.

“Moving forward, we will not be using the terms ‘allyship’ and ‘privilege’, opting instead for terms such as ‘solidarity’ and ‘structurally enabled/embedded advantage’ to shift us from oppositional framings, towards language that recognizes our interconnected experiences.”

[AIU RACE Centre @AIUCentre]

As part of #RefugeeWeek2021, & after, we are sharing a series of blog posts looking at how to centre the experiences of refugees and asylum seekers when exploring refugeeism with young people.
