Dear Members, Partners, and Supporters,
Welcome to the latest edition of the ROTA newsletter.
It was a privilege to join ROTA as CEO last month. It is an organisation with a rich history, important legacy and exciting future. There is real power in our membership model and we look forward to working with you in sharing ideas, knowledge and strategies for lasting racial justice in Britain.
As you can see below, we are scaling up our work in important areas, particularly in housing justice. As our previous research has starkly shown; racial inequality is hard-wired into the housing system. It will require a collaborative and coordinated effort to address this. Therefore please do join and partner with us in the movement for change to influence legislation such as the Renters Rights Bill. We are also supporting the next generation of Black and Global Majority researchers, through our ROTA Community Research Partnership (RCRP). Our successful event last month addressed critical issues in education and employment while launching a rich, intricate and moving report from our community researchers.
It has been such a fantastic first few weeks here at ROTA. Again, we look forward to working with you for a better future.
Matthew Johnson, ROTA Chief Executive |
