Greetings all,
A group of activists and academics have joined together to write an open
letter to David Cameron
<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1R3uXViu7G1RQ7nfnNZjCIO7spT0PXoaVaFjNFrbLChY/viewform>
to call for the UK Government to establish an independent Commission for
the UN International Decade for People of African Descent 2015-2014.
So far, the British Government has taken no steps to recognise,
resource, or promote the UN International Decade for People of African
Descent, here, in the UK.
Please sign this open letter requesting the government to establish a
Commission to address the ongoing legacies of racism and intersectional
forms of discrimination that continue to inflict alarming forms of
injustice, marginalisation and violence on the lives of peoples of
African persons and people of African descent.
*Please add your name to this letter before 20 March 2016 and share it
with other potential signatories using this link*:
