If you’re a UNISON Southend-on-Sea member and would like to attend the STAND UP TO RACISM Trade Union Conference please contact the branch ASAP for financial support. Dependent on numbers, we should be able to cover conference registration and travel expenses. In exchange, we would want your feedback and support on how we can best organise around issues raised at the conference and how we can be proactive in challenging racism and Islamophobia in our workplace and community during 2018.
The STAND UP TO RACISM Trade Union Conference will focus on fighting racism and mobilising for the MARCH AGAINST RACISM* National Demonstration on Saturday 17th March. Workshops will include challenging and fighting Islamophobia and institutional racism, supporting solidarity with migrant workers, Brexit and defending EU nationals rights and freedom of movement, and tackling the myths about immigration.
For more information about the conference please visit here and if you wish to register please email us and we’ll include you in our branch group booking.
* More information about the MARCH AGAINST RACISM coming soon.
