Race & Community

A cross-party group of MPs and Peers, focusing on issues of racial justice

The APPG Race & Community is a cross-party group focusing on issues of racial justice. We aim to increase the coverage in parliament of issues relating to race and ethnicity; to update members on these issues as well as on up-to-date research; and to connect the group with charities and other organisations working on these issues around the country.

A vision for climate justice: tackling the climate and nature emergency and global systemic racism

Only by profiling voices at the heart of the climate crisis can we ever begin to create climate policy which actually works.

People of colour and Indigenous peoples across the world are facing the worst effects of a climate and nature emergency which they didn’t cause.
