Our statement on the recent wave of Islamophobic, racist and xenophobic hate speech, violence and rioting in the UK. We will be following up soon with tangible actions of support to back-up our words. #RiotsinUK #antiracism #LeicesterSquare #FarRightThugs #RiotsNotProtests

The RCSLT #Autism Guidelines have been nominated for an award. This is puzzling given the concerning feedback they received from a collective of Autistic people. You can read our open letter 👉🏼 theautisticadvocate.com/an-open-letter…

The undergrad Black Studies degree has been cancelled by BCU. We still have MA but this is an institutionally racist move that continues the attack on Black thought in higher ed. Full vid pouring (but not spilling) the tea on Make It Plain podcast: youtu.be/g7-oQU2XTNY

Some of you may already be aware that the Anti-Racism Action Collective, of which I am a part of, have submitted a letter to the RCSLT outlining concerns with the RCSLT leadership and its association with far-right ideology following recent events. 1/9

This is currently under investigation and we are awaiting a formal response/outcome. Feel free to reach out if you would like to see this letter, I am a Twitter dinosaur and can't figure how to share it properly (lol) 2/9

This has been a deeply concerning and unsettling revelation at a time of civil unrest and has raised questions regarding the RCSLT's commitment to anti-racism, as outlined in their recently updated anti-racism statement. 3/9

For me, it has made me angry and ashamed to be associated with the anti-racism work of the RCSLT and sickened that my labour has been exploited to further an agenda that is yet to progress from words to actions. 4/9

For years we have talked about anti-racism as being an action and yet we continue to drown in a puddle of EDI agendas and the white tears of "allies". 5/9

The only thing I know and hold onto is that institutions must be held to account, regardless of the individual impact or consequence. This is so much bigger than us as individuals, but as a collective we are stronger. 7/9

Together with W & Chloe Nkomo (she/her) 🌿 more than 60 people signed a letter to RCSLT reg their CEO’s alleged following of Tommy Robinson. We r expecting greater transparency but so far it has been rituals of performative PR. Read the letter & news here! londonnewsonline.co.uk/news/campaign-…
