Join us, Tanaka Mhishi and Imogen Butler-Cole, as we attempt our own version of restorative justice through compassion and storytelling.

Things we can do: Write your MP (free template in @everydayracism bio); lobby your workplace to ensure they don’t use this as an excuse to stop any anti-racism or ED&I work they may have committed to. If they have not yet committed, ensure they do. Think about where your red lines and green lines are: where does the point come where you start breaking rules?
