• Are you concerned about the rise of the far right and their ability to impact on communities and your work as a Community Development Worker?
• Are you not sure how to respond, or in what ways you're allowed to respond?

for example if you're a council employee working under elected representatives who are actively expressing anti-discriminatory views: anti-gay, anti-BME, anti-women, anti-disability

This day school is primarily for female and male leaders from black and ethnic minority groups as well as from organizations working with migrants and refugees. It will focus on strategic campaigning related to the general elections in May; ways in which individuals can make their voice heard; how to engage communities in the electoral process; and developing an antiracist manifesto.
In collaboration with Barnsley Black and Minority Ethnic Initiative, Tackling Race Inequalities Fund and the Northern Refugee Centre.
