Introduction to Anti-Racism

On 25th May 2020 the world witnessed the murder of George Floyd under the knee of police officer Derek Chauvin for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. This murder sparked worldwide protests, the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement and led to organisations the world over positing black squares, but what has happened since? Many organisations and individuals were quick to say that they weren't racist, However, that's not enough. What we need to be is actively anti-racist, but what does that mean and how can we do this? These sessions are designed to help your staff to start thinking about exactly that.
