We're pleased to have contributed to this special edition of @IPPR, guest edited by the amazing @raceontheagenda and @raceequality.

In our article "Building a More Equitable Charity Sector" @Kadra_A_, @emekaforbes, and Ayesha Gardiner look at the work charity leaders must do. We know that charities have a problem with racism. But too often we avoid conversations about how institutional racism operates within our organisations. Instead of challenging racism, these structures of oppression are often alive and well across the sector. Image

POC have been left reeling from the gaslighting and historical revisionism in #SewellReport.

Our lived experiences of institutional racism is being denied, and our reality questioned.

White people, it's time to use your power and privilege to push back

We back @AkikoMHart completely, and applaud her courage in sharing this with @ThirdSector ❤️

The funder-fundee relationship should not require endangering yourself by staying silent in the face of dehumanising treatment.

Who will join Akiko in speaking?

"The very serious function of racism is distraction"

There's no clearer example of these distraction tactics than the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities Report, which alleges they couldn't find any evidence of structural racism faced by racialised groups in the UK The inquiry's results are not surprising to us.

We are just (perpetually) disappointed.

We want the charity sector taking the lead in rooting out racism in society - especially in responding to this report.

It's very interesting to see how all these orgs are using their platforms this week to show solidarity to the #BlackLivesMatter movement - but are they just playing lip-service? Here is what POC in the sector have been experiencing this week - a thread.

Listen, Reflect & Act! #CharitySoWhite is our having to emotionally cope with the deafening silence from CEOs who we have worked with (for free) for the last six months that told us they were committed to root out institutional racism.

(1/4) There are several problematic assumptions made in this piece that we disagree with, but we want to respond to the two key points:

1. This article makes sweeping generalisations about the working class (which btw also includes BAME people). (2/4) This ‘woke’ narrative seems to be the new way to shut down marginalised voices. Social conservatism is not a protected characteristic and is now represented by a majority Tory govt.
