94% of BIPOC students in Ireland experience racism in schools.
But only 50% of teachers surveyed claim to have witnessed or experienced racist incidents in school, which means there’s a disconnect between what students are experiencing & what teachers are seeing!

Moderna has filed patents which threaten to derail WHO plans to make more Covid-19 vaccines in Africa.
We've joined 60+ organisations demanding that @Moderna_tx drops these patents and instead supports the South Africa vaccine hub.

How can adult education become truly anti-racist in practice? @NGOZILEE delivers a powerful input on how we must embrace the unique voice of people experiencing racism.

Due to vaccine restrictions in Britain, 2 Zapatista delegations planned to visit Wales, Ireland, Scotland & England are coming to Ireland first for 10 days, which is amazing, but now we need to scramble to raise funds & organise logistics. Every € helps! gofundme.com/f/help-us-fund-…

Every piece of research done on this issue points to racism. The only thing stopping us from having even clearer, incontrovertible data is that the gardaí don't record ethnicity of interactions. This in itself is proof of institutional racism.
There is plenty of research which establishes racism and racial profiling in the guards. We reviewed 20 years of it in this episode of @PolicedPodcast tortoiseshack.ie/25-policing…
