People around the globe have marched, protested, and mobilised resources. Some governments are beginning to allocate more resources in anti-racist initiatives.
Great progress is being made in the fight for racial equality - but how can we ensure that this becomes a movement, not just a moment?
Watch this workshop to find out how to tackle racism in the public service and continue to pursue lasting, systemic change - not just quick fixes.
Who should watch
This workshop is for anyone who wants to learn how to turn a moment into a movement and continue pushing for racial justice in the public service and beyond.
