Gifts from The Morning Star
Here in Britain we must prove with actions that Black Lives Matter
We need to transform the crucial anti-racist slogan into a reality of daily life, writes CLAUDIA WEBBE MP

I STAND in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter protests and I will continue to support all those across the world who are safely and peacefully protesting systems of racist oppression. 

Organised peaceful resistance is a force for change and is deserving of our full support.

As the inspiring crowds of protesters across the country have shown us in recent weeks, it is crucial that we in Britain do not assume that our institutions are immune from state-sanctioned racialised violence.
