Stop the job Loss Nightmare – Extend Furlough (national online event)

We are approaching a cliff edge of job losses as the furlough scheme winds up on October 31st. It’s predicted that many thousands of people will be unemployed unless the government changes tack. The government’s continual prioritisation of profit over people’s health and lives has meant that we are facing a pandemic that is racing out of control, underfunding of services, kids going hungry this winter and a test and trace system falling apart at the seems. We need a fightback in communities across the UK to demand that ordinary people don’t pay for the virus with their lives or their living standards.
Join a protest in your locality if you are able or watch the rally that will link up protests on Facebook Live.
Saturday 31st October 4pm – 6pm

Conference panel discussion – How do we overcome the obstacles to anti-racist education and the decolonisation of the curriculum?
Join the zoom meeting here: Meeting ID: 868 5254 8151. Passcode: 527702
The recent government pronouncements on what can be taught in schools is a further intentional barrier to advancing anti-racist education. However, the toppling of the statues that celebrated racism in Bristol and elsewhere, as well as the explosion of anti-racist education campaigning across the country, proves that profound progress is within our grasp. The panel will introduce a discussion on how best we can move forward.
