Antiracism - online training session (on Zoom)

Mon 26 Feb, 7.00-8.30pm

Led by:

*Dr Alan Kessedjian - of the Central England Network (experienced facilitator on this issue)

*Jermaine Gregory - Amnesty UK Antiracism Network

Please register to attend at https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYsf-GtrjkoEtELR_C16Du2fooWz5XzSamv

This event follows the Network event on antiracism in July last year, and the subsequent publication in November of Amnesty’s damning report on the government’s PREVENT strategy and its chilling and discriminatory effect on human rights (see https://www.amnesty.org.uk/prevent)   This issue goes to the heart of fairness and justice in our society and it’s so important that as Amnesty activists and supporters we are up to speed on the issues, and are confident in understanding antiracist analysis and action. There will be discussion of how best to develop further actions with and through the Central England Network campaign group.

If you are a Network contact in an Amnesty Local Group could you please cascade this message to your Group’s contacts to aid with marketing the event. Many thanks.

Thanks for your support
