Catalysed by the murder by a police officer of George Floyd, there have been numerous protests around the world and in some cases violence. Some of this violence has been perpetuated by law enforcement, seemingly emboldened in America by a President who seeks to divide the country. But this is not an issue solely limited to America, my own country is not innocent.

The racism has to stop. I write those five words as a privileged white person who in many ways can’t begin to understand what has been considered “normal” by many a coloured person. Their version of “normal” has to cease. Equity needs to be the normal. If you don’t know what I am writing about then please go and educate yourself. There is a lot of information out there that shouldn’t be too hard to find, but I will point you towards this newsletter by my friend Documentally which contains a lot of links to useful information and things that you can do.
