Our session: Building Black Power; Asserting our right to race equality

Facilitated by Black Activists Rising Against Cuts (BARAC ) UK

Chair: Zita Holbourne Co-founder & National Co-Chair BARAC UK

Speakers : Donna Guthrie; BARAC Women's Officer

Colette Williams; PAC45 Co-ordinator / Founder

Panel discussion followed by audience debate

Description:

How do we build a Labour Party & wider labour and social movement that focuses on eradicating race injustice and race equality?

Austerity has amplified racism over the past 6 years and led to deepening poverty for black communities. Along side this we have experienced increased racism and injustice ranging from discrimination in the labour market to disproportionate stop & search, deaths at the hands-off the State whilst being denied access to justice because of cuts and a failure to address institutional racism by public authorities including the police.

This event will discuss how radical black movements can work together to build a 2020 vision focused on black leadership and anti racist struggle, uniting the Black labour movement & Labour Party.

We have published the following strategy paper to aid discussion,with the aim of continuing debate after the conference and forming a consensus that brings Black communities, activists, race equality and anti -racist  organisations, the Labour movement , the Labour Party and Momentum together to achieve a common aim.
