Dear Project X community,
We are living through extremely hostile and violent times.
We send strength and our deepest solidarity to our siblings who are recovering from these attacks across the UK.
We are alarmed at the increasing racist and islamophobic violent attacks on Black and People of Colour happening across the UK. This has been fuelled by decades-long mainstream media and politicians who have perpetuated fear-mongering rhetoric that is racist, islamophobic, anti-migration and denies the dignity and rights of displaced peoples. This is also a result of a country which is not dealing with it’s colonial history and legacy -including the continued imperialism taking place across many nations. This is a safety and public health concern. We are worried for the safety of our loved ones and wider community.
As we move through the coming days and crisis ahead, it’s important for us to remember that together we are a community and we can keep each other safe and strong.*
We urge everyone to stay vigilant and look out each other and for those in our Black and Brown communities who are have been made more vulnerable - including Muslim, Sikh, refugees and displaced peoples, Black and People of Colour who are disabled, carers and children, QTIBPOC, those who are in precarious housing, and those of us who are unable to work from/ be at home
or who need to be in public facing jobs as well as rely on public transport.
For those going to peaceful protests, and going about daily lives please keep yourself safe - share with loved ones of where you are going, keep up to date with trusted community alerts and news platforms.
Love + Solidarity

*We are decolonial in our interpretation of strength - this is collectively sustainability, resilience, wisdom, good health and wellbeing, thoughtful criticality, responsiveness and imaginative creativity.
