This Is England: @AyoCaesar's Alternative Race Report

[CORE (Coalition of Race Equality Organisations) @CoreRace]

The long-awaited report from the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities has now been published.
As a network of anti-racist organisations we are dismayed that instead of tackling structural racism, the report seeks to argue it doesn't exist.
Read our full statement here:

We have maxed out the responses to White Allies survey and are closing it! Thank you for the overwhelming response - this data will help shape new campaigns to mobilise white people in fight against racism.

For now, keep sharing the BAME survey +#BHM content to help us out🖤😘

We know Racism kills. K-dogg survived his racist attack, but many other dont. He will have scars for life, inside and out. Contribute towards his recovery https://t.co/PulW3PRiDN

The murder of George Floyd in America is the result of racism and white supremacy. This is not an American problem, neither is it only a far-right problem. Every white person needs to educate themselves about how racism manifests in all parts of our society,

In a crisis where BAME communities are disproportionately dying & being left destitute, we must all hold funders to account.

Funders are 99% white & distribution track records to BAME led orgs is shocking.

Read the story of how the Covid-19 pandemic prevented Eric Mwine-Mugaju from leaving London to be at his father’s funeral in Uganda and perform the rites. https://t.co/vGW09EImac

Truth: Systemic Racism & Structural Inequality place Black, Asian & Ethnic Minorities at higher risk of #COVID19

Key to UK BAME disproportionately hit by #coronavirus

Govt must be transparent about how it'll address it. Same as US with African Americans https://t.co/bq2fqH28Tt

Two doctors who are father and son are both working with #COVID19 patients at Torbay hospital in Devon. Tayyib Mubashar, first-year junior doctor, was inspired to follow in the footsteps of his father Yahya, who moved to the UK from Pakistan 20 years ago. https://t.co/egZrR5JCGo

[Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu @SholaMos1]

Black, Asians & Ethnic Minorities are now praised as the bedrock of UK key services #NHS #keyworker etc

They. Always. Were.

But it took risking & losing their lives in #COVID19 to praise them. Sacrifice that'll be selectively forgotten as soon as UK heals.

Colonial. Mentality.

Almost 1 in 3 face racial bullying at work, but they continue caring for us. Their compassion and contribution must be recognised.

[Catherine Fitzgerald @FitzCatherine]

1 in 5 NHS staff AND social care workers are ‘people of colour/BAME’, yet they are conspicuously absent from media and NHS celebrations.#ClapForALLOurCarers #COVID19 #protecttheNHS #stopthewhitewash https://t.co/5dhLqqaGnH
