Operation Black Vote Calls for Immediate Government Action to Combat Rising Racial Tensions and Prevent Imminent Race Riots This week, we have issued an urgent appeal to Prime Minister Keir Starmer, demanding immediate government intervention to address the escalating racial tensions and the imminent risk of further race riots across the UK. This plea follows a surge in violent incidents fuelled by hate crimes and the growing threat of the violent extreme right. Our Chair, David Weaver, said "Without immediate and decisive action, we risk further unrest and the potential loss of life. We urge the government to take swift and comprehensive action to ensure the safety and security of all citizens." Click below to read the full letter 👇 https://lnkd.in/eihSi3uN

Voter ID laws disproportionately stopped Black & brown people from having their say in the election. In other words, they’re racist. We joined 40+ Black & brown artists, academics and NGO leaders to call on @keirstarmer to scrap these Tory rules once and for all. Read the letter in full #scrapvoterid https://lnkd.in/gv2Bmr8z
