Raising Our Voices Against RacismMy heart is aching because of the horror we have witnessed in the US and the ongoing horror that is institutionalised racism. A spark of hope is also kindled in my heart by seeing many people around the world from all backgrounds are coming together to raise their voices against racism and affirm that #BlackLivesMatter. I add my voice in solidarity with the global protests at the horrific murder of George Floyd by white policemen and the subsequent treatment of protestors. #JusticeForGeorgeFloyd. I add my voice to call for an end to brutal, institutionalised racism towards the black community worldwide. I add my voice to call for an enquiry into the disproportionate impact of Covid-19 on BAME communitiesIn my Crystal Palace community, I have been proud and honoured to take a peaceful, safe, socially distant stand against racism together with a supportive, relaxed police presence. I know that protesting on the street is only one form of contribution and I honour the many ways we can raise our voices for a better world.
