The Justice and Peace Commission helps organize the Annual Racial Justice Sunday Celebration. Racial Justice Sunday is marked on the second weekend of September each year. However, as we link Racial Justice Sunday and Black History Month, which falls in October, our celebrations occur in late September.
Racial Justice
Is this Justice?
Racism affects all of us. It breaks our communities apart, feeding violence and hate. It breeds injustice and conflict. Racism can be both targeted directly at individuals (such as race related physical attacks or verbal abuse), or it can be institutional (such as employers choosing not to hire certain ethnic groups). In the UK racism is sadly still a reality. For example:
People of mixed race are twice more likely to be the victims of racial abuse than white people. The unemployment rate for ethnic minority groups has consistently been twice that of whites. Recent studies have suggested there are high levels of racial discrimination in the labour market. The percentage of people living in poor housing is higher for all ethnic minority groups than for their white counterparts.
