Students - What can I do to help? 

There are so many positive ways to be involved. 

Be actively anti-racist! When someone says something racist question them and help educate them. 

Understand racism and how it happens overtly and covertly 

Sign petitions, write a letter to your MP and do your research; do not just watch Tik Toks or share memes.
