"All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights"

We call on states, regions, cities across Europe to adopt national action plans against #racism that address structural racism and have an #intersectional & human rights based approach Image
@UNHumanRights @ECRI_CoE @JuliePascoet @AmnestyEU @HRW_Brussels @CIJBerlin @EURightsAgency @helenadalli @ARDIEuroParl @CommissionerHR 1/ National Action Plans Against Racism are governments’ @UN commitment. Some EU countries have taken initial steps but they are not comprehensive or not fully implemented. Yet we know racism is gaining ground.
@UNHumanRights @ECRI_CoE @JuliePascoet @AmnestyEU @HRW_Brussels @CIJBerlin @EURightsAgency @helenadalli @ARDIEuroParl @CommissionerHR @UN 2/ National Action Plans Against Racism can be a unique tool which puts racialised people and their experiences at the centre of social justice and equality policies.

Our report gives key indicators of success when designing such a plan: enar-eu.org/National-Actio… Image

Our report on #policebrutality shows that the same violent patterns are deployed in different European countries to allow police forces to continue brutalising racialised communities; #structuralracism can no longer be ignored in Europe.
The #Covid19 measures have also allowed police and law enforcement to further brutalise racialised communities. We all remember the #MichelZecler case in France:⤵️
The many systemic human rights violations perpetrated against refugees and migrants in Europe with complete disregard towards the protection of their fundamental rights also clearly demonstrates how institutions in Europe target racialized communities.

The EU #MigrationPact reinforces a narrative focused on exclusion and security at any cost.
It fails to address the impact of structural #racism and how it plays out in practices & policies that put people’s lives at risk. Is this really ‘solidarity’?
An anti-racism THREAD 👇🏿👇🏿
2/ EU migration policies are historically based on racial discrimination and shaped by a neo-colonial approach.
This needs to be addressed, such as the notion of who belongs to Europe and the criminalisation of moving, which disproportionately impacts racialised groups.
3/ The pact does not acknowledge anti-migrant and xenophobic political discourse in many countries, and the impact it has on policy design and practices.
The pact essentially gives a free hand to these countries to detain and return migrants

We should ask ourselves what #Decolonization means to Muslims, Jews, Roma, Afro/ Asian Europeans, People of Colour, LGBTIQ community, CSO's, EU institutions, policy makers of #Europe.

We must decolonise our structures that drive discrimination to built an inclusive Europe. Image
#Decolonization is essential to address structural racism in EU Member States.

Toppling statues of criminals & racist colonialists is essential to make Europe future proof just as education on the real colonial history of Europe. #BlackLivesMattters Image
From #Roosevelt to #Churchill to #LeopoldII: they are visible monuments to the greatest crime in history: #Colonialism.

Therefore, we must prioritise #decolonization to topple the invisible monuments that make our society so structurally racist. #Europe

Let's start asking the important questions about this resolution adopted by the @Europarl_EN:

What does it mean for the mass movement of people in the EU demanding racial justice?

What effect it will have on European institutions?
#BlackLivesMatter #PoliceBrutalityPandemic The European Parliament’s r...
“The @Europarl_EN resolution on anti-racism shows the importance of the large public movement demanding justice & is a wake-up call for the #EU to acknowledge the urgency of tackling racism, said @KMTaylorBerlin in response. @EU_Commission @helenadalli @MPriv_o @JuliePascoet #BLM Image
There are also no long-term measures for the future of policing in EU, especially measures & reflection on the use of violence in policing, which is, justified in the text, @KMTaylorBerlin said on the @Europarl_EN resolution.
