MEX condemns the violence and harm caused by far-right racists who are spreading hate. We will continue to build solidarity in the face of adversity and strive for a future where everyone feels safe and valued.
.@BBC insisting on reporting racist rioters as 'protestors' and 'demonstrators' is a gross misrepresentation of the violence impacting communities of colour across the UK. Language matters.
This really is a huge story - should be front page of every newspaper tomorrow:
Nearly all schools - already severely financially stretched - will lose thousands, many tens of thousands and some over £100k from their expected budgets next year *because DfE added them up wrong*
A v strange claim to make when we have just had several days of unambiguously radical right rhetoric being rolled out on prime time TV by sitting cabinet ministers, and the current PM saying he would welcome the most prominent radical right politician in Britain into his party.

Wanting schools to be places where children feel safe and welcome - where they feel they belong - you'd think that would be a no-brainer wouldn't you? #schoolsofsanctuary
➡️Our response to tonight's coverage by GB news
1. We are incredibly proud of the 400+ inspiring schools that have earned the Schools of Sanctuary award for demonstrating their commitment to being a place of welcome, safety and belonging for all.
At a time when change has never been more urgent, we present our policy priorities for racial justice in Britain.
We advocate for a transformative, whole-systems approach, where racial justice is no longer siloed or used as a tool for division 👇

As caring people, most of us welcome refugees and want to help people who are fleeing for their lives.

@robbiehawkins__@Ofcom This and last week the asshole on Wootton's show lightheartedly calling for mass killing of people practicing kink while Wootton smirked approvingly. Shut it down, already.
Braverman's speech was never for the DC policy community - and they gave it a big swerve.

Suella Braverman’s speech has taken far-right tropes and conspiracy theories, like the Great Replacement Theory, and introduced them to the mainstream.
Rosie Carter, Director of Policy at HOPE not hate, reacts to Suella Braverman's speech on immigration.
The UN Refugee Convention is there to protect everyone.
It was established and agreed upon by hundreds of states after WW2, including the UK. Threats to tear it up or to exclude certain people are very dangerous & threaten the safety of us all.

📢BREAKING: What we know from Suella Braverman's speech:
❌Implores the US & other democracies to tear up treaties which protect human rights;
❌Disregards gender & sexuality as a basis for protection needs;
❌Whips up fear, hatred & racism, over compassion and humanity.

📢 Because this needs to be said today:
LGBTQI+ people are tortured in many states for who they are and who they love — their pain is no less than other survivors we treat.
And they deserve the same protection, too. It is shameful for our government to suggest otherwise.
