The Anti-Islamophobia Working Group agrees with one of our members, Show Racism the Red Card, that there is simply no place for racism in sports, or anywhere in society.
We thank Show Racism the Red Card for inviting director, Anisa Mahmood, to speak at Leyton Orient Football Club to mark Islamophobia Awareness Month.
It was an engaging and informative day, teaching students from Year 5 & 6 about racism, the importance of intersectionality and allyship, and delivering SrtrC's anti-racism workshop to 100 local pupils. We were so moved by the insightful questions and thoughts from the pupils.
This also included an amazing panel, including Muslim and non-Muslim football players from the Club.
Huge thanks to Show Racism the Red Card, and Taylor Wimpey plc for sponsoring todays event and supporting the local community in Leyton.
Let’s show racism the red card!
