Activist groups across the UK prepare for UN Anti-Racism Day of protests


Feb 19, 2021

THE OFFICIAL UN Anti-Racism Day is expected to be marked by international protests on March 20.

The lead up to the demonstrations was marked by a “day of mobilisation” by Stand Up To Racism and the Trades Union Congress (TUC) on February 18. As a result of these efforts, #WorldAgainstRacism and #NoRacismNoFascism began trending on UK Politics Twitter.

Twelve trade unions, including the National Union of Teachers (NUT) and the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) and a number of campaigning groups took part in the effort to raise awareness and support the worldwide protests.

This activism comes after Home Secretary Priti Patel recently attacked the Black Lives Matter movement, and called it dreadful.
