#BlackLivesMatter This month we shall be recording responses made to the killing of George Floyd on 25th May. Too many black people have died at the hands of state racism, institutional racism – and individual racism stoked by the first two.  We can all work together to turn the tide of racism. It will be a long and difficult struggle – but George Floyd’s death has brought many young people into that fight. We may yet change the world. Should we name 25th May as George Floyd day, to ensure that we never forget?

“It’s important to understand what’s keeping ppl on the streets of Britain marching for justice. It’s deep rooted racial inequalities, systemic & structural racism that pass from generation to generation with no end in sight End it now, get your knee off our neck.”
Claudia Webbe, Labour MP for Leicester East
