We are excited to invite you to the launch of our latest book, "The Fire Now: Anti-Racist Scholarship in Times of Explicit Racial Violence"! (@ZedBooks). Speakers include @AkwugoEmejulu Tickets & further info can be found here: https://t.co/DfPDLf4biK @azeezatj @RemiJS90 @beswk
Last month, Shukri Yahya Abdi, a quiet, timid 12-year-old girl, a refugee from Somalia, was found dead in a river near Manchester. Remi Joseph-Salisbury [@RemiJS90] reflects on a tragedy that speaks volumes about the state of our politics today. https://t.co/CPLj3aKVg4
In light of @BorisJohnson calls for more stop & search, the @Conservatives would do well to look at existing evidence
See this blog from @MatteoTiratelli:
Study finds little if any evidence to suggest increased stop & search can reduce violent crime

.@gmpolice has admitted that it has a written agreement to share information about disabled people and other activists who take part in protests with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) https://t.co/yzQRW935X5
If you support what we do, and are able, please donate and enable us to continue our anti-racist work.
Our explicit & uncompromising focus on racism means that we are often overlooked by traditional funders, we are grateful to those that do support us:

Hey @NandosUK - we work with young people in Manchester who spend their free time with us challenging racism, so we'd like to treat them to a meal at their FAVE Nandos as a thank you (but currently have no money) can you help? 🙂
Update: @gmpolice have invited us to a meeting to discuss ‘Project Servator’. However, we have responded asking that they address the open letter’s concerns publicly due to it being supported by many individuals, organisations and community groups. We await a response.
My latest article "Throwing our bodies against the white background of academia" has just been published by Area! Access the article here: https://t.co/bDXnH95Dpn
Campaigners, including the @npolicemonitor, say @GMPolice tactic that puts the public under ‘state monitoring and surveillance’ must end.

Our open letter to @gmpolice has been signed by over 50 people so far, including citizens of Grtr Manchester, leading charities, & anti-racist orgs.
We call attention to problems with 'Project Servator' & @gmpolice unwillingness to respond to concerns

We are urging the public to be aware and critical of @gmpolice’s ‘Project Servator’. Please read and share our statement, which details our concerns about its use for the people of Greater Manchester and beyond.
#StephenLawrenceDay offers us the chance both to commemorate Stephen, and to reflect on the work that is still needed in the face of police harassment, violence and racism. A statement from us to mark the 1st National Stephen Lawrence Day
Thanks for writing in Catherine. Your wish that I "really knew" what it was like under Hitler so that I would be "sorted out" somewhat proves my point. There is deeply sinister far right in this country that needs to be defeated. I will not be bullied or intimidated into silence.
Since August 2018 we have run:
Kids of Colour on Mental Health
Kids of Colour on Education
Kids of Colour on Integration
Next... with @npolicemonitor ⬇️ https://t.co/IEb9KzKnf0
The @Conservatives really have been an unmitigated disaster for the UK. Trends from the last 9 years in practically all areas of society tell a story of devastating decline 1/
The Racial Justice Network stands in solidarity with those facing deportation, support End deportations’ CALL TO ACTION and we urge this government to end its callous mistreatment of Black and Brown communities.

I finished reading the first essay in this collection of essays eds. by @azeezatj @RemiJS90 and Beth Kamunge. Already I feel the weight of its purpose. I’ll be reading the rest over the coming days but I wanted to take a moment to thank them and their collaborators in advance.
Get your tickets for our first event in 2019. Joined by a panel of campaigners, we will be discussing the enduring issue of deaths in police custody.
February 2nd. More Info ⤵️ https://t.co/MhVslm5px9
