COMING SOON, 2024 Update
Click here to see Work in Progress
As part of RENS commitment to anti-racism, we are are working with local organisations to make anti-racism commitments visible, both online and in public spaces.
In 2020 Weston Town Council made a pledge followed by North Somerset Council in 2022 and we want to celebrate all those in Weston who have made similar commitments.
There are currently three main areas of focus:
DO YOU HAVE AN ANTI-RACISM POLICY?
We’re asking all organisations with an anti-racism policy to send a link to their policy and their logo so we can promote them on our website.
CAN YOU HELP US DEVELOP AN ANTI-RACISM PLEDGE?
We’re working with the local community to develop an anti-racism pledge to be signed by local businesses and organisations.
WILL YOU DISPLAY AN ANTI-RACISM STICKER?
Organisations, shops and businesses that sign the pledge will be offered anti-racism stickers to display in their windows, on their websites and on social media.
RACE EQUALITY WEEK (06-12 FEBRUARY 2023): IT’S EVERYONE’S BUSINESS
Race Equality Week is an annual UK-wide movement uniting thousands of organisations and individuals to address the barriers to race equality in the workplace.
During 2022, we supported Race Equality Week and the theme of #ActionNotWords, with a number of successful events held at The Other Place. The theme for 2023 is ‘IT’S EVERYONE’S BUSINESS’.
RENS are working with Race Equality Matters to promote their campaign initiatives across North Somerset and we will be offering a programme of events during Race Equality Week.
Can you help us prepare?
