Together Against Racism

Birmingham has a long history of activism. From the uprisings that confronted racist violence to the everyday organising that builds community empowerment, this city’s movements have always challenged systems that exclude and oppress.

This page is both a celebration and call to action. It’s a space to promote Birmingham’s activist spirit, connect with today’s movements and an invitation to bring your lived experiences, your voice and your energy.

Please get in touch if you would like your group to be added to this page or have events you want to share and promote – Contact Us.

Activism is not optional but essential if we are to dismantle systemic racism and create an anti-racist city.
