We’re so honoured to have been acknowledged by @DevonLiveNews - although we still have a long way to go, we’re taking this #InternationalWomensDay to celebrate how far we’ve come!

[Healthwatch Devon @HwDevon]

Healthwatch England’s recent poll of almost 2,500 people highlighted that getting to vaccine centres is more of a barrier for Black communities 💉

Reports like these are vital in proving why diversity and anti-racist education must start in schools, and it’s why one of the key goals in our campaign is improving our curriculum to include BAME history, literature, and other role models https://t.co/g0Bn8a57OI

Catch us tonight at 6pm on ITV West Country (@itvwestcountry) discussing our campaign and racism in Devon!

[Diversity In Devon @DevonDiversity]

Really exciting stuff today as we were interviewed by @itvwestcountry ! Tune in some time next week to see us talk about the campaign

[Diversity In Devon @DevonDiversity]

It’s very disappointing that 40 Conservative MPs have refused vital diversity and antiracism training. Situations like these are why we end up with a complete whitewash in Parliament: For example, not a single BAME MP was elected for Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland in 2019.

We had a really great time walking with @middevonwalker today - we discussed our campaign and how encouraging the response has been!

[Radio Exe Devon @radioexe]

An Ottery girl says she's "turned a blind eye to ignorance hoping it would get better" as she's grown up black in Devon. Four students have launched a campaign called Diversity in Devon. @DCP_Diversity @KingsSchoolOSM @ClaireWrightInd #otterystmary https://t.co/deRhI0fIY0

@VowlesJourno @ClaireWrightInd Thanks for the article!

@morriarty1 @ClaireWrightInd Members in our campaign group hold beliefs across the political specturm, but we’ve come together for a common goal because we understand that anti-racism isn’t a political stance, it’s a human rights stance!

[Diversity In Devon @DevonDiversity]

Really great to see our campaign breaking into local news. Lets keep this momentum going! https://t.co/lDU7UMTex5

@morriarty1 @ClaireWrightInd Hi! As a campaign we are not only keen to invite debate and discussion - our Facebook page is open for people to leave their thoughts - but we also firmly believe that supporting diversity and challenging racism isn’t an ‘opinion’, it is simply human decency.
