Blog post by Not A Trend: How Can I Use This Anger?

 Not A Trend

Anti-racism is not a trend. Not A Trend is a youth-led (but all age-inclusive) campaign ensuring that the fight against racial injustice is not simply another hashtag. They will be joining with other activists, changemakers and organisations to form a decolonising taskforce to win change in schools, and ensure that meaningful anti-racism and anti-racist policies and approaches are not only possible, but a necessary part of a just education system. Starting with efforts to decolonise local schools by taking them through a programme of training, transformative policies and processes to embed within their institutions, the Not a Trend campaign plans to ensure racial equity is continuously fought for, not just when another ‘Justice for…’ hashtag is trending. 

How can I get involved?

Our team, headed up by South-London based changemakers and students Ava and Simi, are currently planning next steps for the campaign - sign up here if you are a young person or school wanting to decolonise your school! Or email blm.notatrend@gmail.com , or find Not A Trend on Instagram or Twitter.
