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 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.

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. #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

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 @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

#EU should come out of the state of denial on structural racism & police brutality against minorities.

Condemnations are only meaningful when they are coupled with real action to completely change racial biases in our institutions. #BlakeLivesMatter
@EU_Commission @JuliePascoet

https://twitter.com/helenadalli/status/1273141064732495873

Structural & institutional racism as well as police brutality against minorities are a national security threat to all EU member states.

Our future depends on building a union for all without structural and institutional racism. #blacklivesmatter @vonderleyen @EU_Commission

Let's walk the talk.

Let's fight racialised oppression for real.

Let's put decolonization on the agenda for changing racist power structures for real.

@DDGCtweets @ColKnowledges @colonialhangovr @theNUC1 @UN_PGA #Decolonisation is an essential element for any recovery plan for #Europe in order to overcome structural racism & social issues exacerbated by #COVID19.

Replacing statues of criminals with memorials to their millions of victims is a great starting point. #BlackLivesMatter

This week 75 years ago nazism, facism & militarism took Europe to its funeral. It took millions of victims with it, marking the end of #WW2.

We must understand that the #FARRIGHT brings DISASTER to #Europe every time we forget what happened in the last World War. @Europarl_EN These are some facts we need to know as Europe is about to celebrate the victory over nazism on 8 May 45.

* 71% support a universal basic income
* 53% of young Europeans think that authoritarians could tackle the climate crisis better.

Our European monitoring shows heavy-handedness by police enforcing #coronavirus lock-downs.

Therefore, we call for French law enforcement agencies' restraint "in this time of confinement & tensions" & to operate within a strictly legal framework, without discrimination. @ccif “Heavy-handed security responses undermine the health response & can exacerbate existing threats to peace & security or create new ones” says the report by @antonioguterres on how HR must guide the response to the #Covid_19 & recovery from the pandemic.

#Inequality doesn't just make pandemics like #Covid_19 worse–it could cause them.

Europe must realise that "We are only as strong as the most vulnerable among us"!

@EU_Commission @ccif @osfEUpolicy @MPriv_o @ONUinfo @helenadalli @social_platform Thank you @Trevornoah for asking the right questions @TheDailyShow.

#MSM must put more focus on discussing how the #coronavirus #pandemic is exacerbating inequalities. It is our social duty to be a voice for the voiceless.

🥳#InternationalRomaDay!
The world is celebrating the legacy & history of #Roma people. Their contribution to social advancement in #Europe is immeasurable.

Therefore, we should lift the barriers of #Antigypsyism in an act of solidarity.
@antonioguterres @UNHumanRights @ECRI_CoE Understanding how racism is hitting minorities in different ways in #EU is key to understand how it make us all vulnerable against a crisis like #coronaoutbreak.

This is why ENAR & @ZR_SintiRoma published a book on dimensions of #antigypsyism.
