Radlett Residents Launch Racial Equality Group
Radlett locals set up "Radlett Action for Racial Equality" (RARE) to stamp out racism in their village and amongst their wider professional spheres.
Radlett, United Kingdom, September 15, 2020 --(PR.com)-- “Police violence against black people must stop,” say a group of residents from Radlett, Herts.
They were so concerned and enraged following the murder of George Floyd and the subsequent global protests led by Black Lives Matter activists that they set up Radlett Action for Racial Equality (RARE) to stamp out racism in their village and amongst their wider professional spheres. They intend that RARE will help strengthen bonds between people of all races, ethnicities and religions.
The murder of George Floyd on 25 May 2020 at the hands of police in Minneapolis, USA was brutal and sent shock waves throughout the world. It sparked a global protest against police violence towards black people and led to a revived anti-racism movement.
"Black Lives Matter" became a slogan that dominated news cycles for weeks, as activists campaigned to dismantle systemic racism and injustice in their communities and wider society.
Caroline Newman, co-founder of RARE said, “I was at the protest in June 2020 when over 100 people turned out to 'take a knee' on Radlett High Street and many motorists tooted in support of the protesters. I was surprised yet happy that people cared enough to come and show support for a cause which was peripheral to their everyday lives. It was apparent that the Village had the desire to play its part in obtaining a fairer society.”
