TUC Midlands & Stand Up To Racism 2021 Anti-racism Summit

We are delighted to be holding our fifth annual anti-racism summit on 18th September 2021, the theme of which is opposing the racist offensive.

After the Black Lives Matter movement has shifted the national debate in a positive direction there is now a push back from those who deny the reality of racism in the UK.

We will be debating how to build and sustain unity in all areas of our society including workplaces, communities and cultural and sports arenas.

Discussions will cover defending migrant’s rights, equality in the workplace, the impact of losing international workers, the Policing Bill and our right to public protest and much more.

Workshops:
The fight for justice and the right to protest
End the hostile environment: refugees welcome
Decolonising education
No to the culture wars: opposing racism in sport
Love music and culture: hate racism

Speakers include:
Diane Abbott MP
Claudia Webbe MP
Shaka Hislop (SRtRC)
Dr Patrick Roach (NASUWT)
Lee Barron (Midlands TUC)
Weyman Bennett (SUTR)
