RIP Cher and Mussie, two tragic deaths which have been linked to Notting Hill Carnival by the media. Misinformation surrounding the case linked Mussie’s death to Carnival, however it was an isolated incident. Carnival is a place for joy and celebration, not violence, and it is devastating that a vibrant celebration of culture has resulted in loss of life. We send our thoughts to the victims' families 🕊 #NottingHillCarnival

We are proud to be a part of the Alliance for Racial Justice, and we call for Government to update equality laws to undergo major updates to tackle deep-rooted discrimination and inequality across Britain. Read the full report👇🏾
In a brand-new report launched today, The Alliance for Racial Justice, a coalition of leading race equality organisations, have called for equality laws to undergo major updates to tackle deep-rooted discrimination and inequality across Britain. Jabeer Butt OBE, CEO of Race Equality Foundation said: “While the Equality Act was a landmark piece of legislation at its time, it is no longer fit for purpose in 2024. To effectively challenge institutional racism in the public sector, the Labour Government must seriously consider adopting our recommendations. Our communities are already feeling betrayed after a summer of violence and unrest. Policy must go beyond the proposed pay gap reporting for ethnic minorities outlined in the Race and Disability Act.” Read the report here ⬇ https://lnkd.in/eU3tzYWc

The history of Notting Hill Carnival 🎉 🖤 Kelso Cochrane died after a racially motivated attack on Southam Street, Notting Hill on May 17th 1959. 🖤 Activity to ease racial tension within the Notting Hill area began after Cochrane's murder, leading to a children's street fayre organised my local resident and community activist, Rhaune Laslett. 🖤 Claudia Jones, a Trinidadian human rights activist based in London, put on a BBC broadcasted indoor ‘Caribbean Carnival’ at St Pancras Town Hall back in 1959. 🖤 In 1966 the first outdoor festival took place in the streets of Notting Hill. The first event saw Henderson's steel band weave its way through Portobello Road as a trail of locals spontaneously gathered and danced in the street to the sound of pan, and so the first Notting Hill carnival was born. #NottingHillCarnival #NottingHillHistory #CaribbeanCulture #StreetFestival #CulturalCelebration
