As #RaceEqualityWeek comes to an end, I was honoured to attend Ahmadiyya Scotland's Peace Symposium to discuss peace, justice & equality.
I spoke out for local libraries across the North East, heard about how RAAC is affecting Dundee residents, & discussed all things marine with @ourseas_scot & their #CoastalTestimonials project

Newsmedia, politicians, and the far right have endlessly scapegoated asylum seekers. This mass misconception is the result.

James Baldwin said,

“I was born here almost 60 years ago. I’m not going to live another 60 years. You always told me, ‘It takes time.’ It’s taken my father’s time, my mother’s time, my uncle’s time, my brothers’ and my sisters’ time. How much time do you want for your progress?”

'The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination is observed annually on the day the police in Sharpeville, South Africa, opened fire and killed 69 people at a peaceful demonstration against apartheid "pass laws" in 1960.

In 1979, the General Assembly decided that a week of solidarity with the peoples struggling against racism and racial discrimination, beginning on 21 March, would be organized annually in all States.'

International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination | United Nations

Racial and ethnic discrimination occur on a daily basis, hindering progress for millions of people around the world. Racism and intolerance can take various forms — from denying individuals the basic principles of equality to fuelling ethnic hatred that may lead to genocide — all of which can destroy lives and fracture communities. The struggle against racism is a matter of priority for the international community.
