ATLEU supports Black Lives Matter. We support the fight for racial justice and equality in the US, in the UK and around the globe. We recognise that racial oppression and murder cannot exist without the complicity and active support of the state and the very institutions that should be there to protect us all. We reject the idea that the protests we see happening here and around the world are in response to American racism alone - this is our enduring global crisis.
