| Online Meeting:Covid-19, Racism & The Hostile Environment7pm Tuesday 7th April 2020 |
| With Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP, Claudia Webbe MP, Petros Constantinou, KEERFA (Greece), Stand Up To Racism co-convenors Sabby Dhalu & Weyman Bennett, an NHS paramedic + more speakers TBC The Covid-19 Pandemic, combined with the failure of the British Government to properly protect its population, and a major economic crash has created situation where the most abhorrent forms of racism are set to thrive. Racist attacks against Chinese and east-Asian people are on the rise, and anti-immigrant measures have meant that migrants and refugees are at severe risk of becoming unwell and falling into destitution. Bell Ribeiro-Addy MP has been leading calls for action on the COVID-19 pandemic since the start, as well as providing a voice against racist scapegoating & for migrant & refugee rights during this crisis. Claudia Webbe MP has been at the front line of the anti-racist struggle for decades, as an activist, councillor and now MP for Leicester East. Petros Constantinou is a leading activist against racism & the far-right in Greece, and is at the front line of demands for refugee rights during the crisis on the Greek border. Join us to discuss how we can force the Government to protect the most vulnerable, and build the broadest most powerful movement against racism as this crisis unfolds. – Link to join will be available on the SUTR Facebook page at 7pm on Tuesday – Join the event for more details |
