Anti-Racist City Oxford works to create a space of honest and open discussion and learning for Oxford residents, students, educators, activists and anyone.

So many people across the world and the UK are seeing the latest situation in Palestine and Israel through the lens of the media and not understanding the full impact on the lives of everyday people who live their lives.

Anti-Racist City has brought together a panel of those directly affected home and abroad to discuss what is truly happening, including activists speaking out at great risk to their personal safety.

Working with residents and activists based in both Palestine and Israel campaigning for peace, we will also share practical actions that can be taken to do to be an ally.

In the second season of Uncomfortable Conversations, we begin by talking about the historic white bias in focus and hiring in British media, and what we do to address this powerful form of storytelling.

In the second part of Anti-Racist' City’s online series “Uncomfortable Conversations”, we tackled the question “What’s The Difference; Prejudice, Stereotyping and Discrimination”. You can watch the webinar on the video link.

We hope that Bristol can continue to lead on this important national conversation about our history and where we are going. We are pleased that Oxford stands with us. 

Following the historical protests in Bristol and the removal of Edward Colston’s statue, Oxford Rhodes Must Fall movement was re-energised, leading to Oriel College establishing a Commission to investigate the removal of the Cecil Rhodes statue and an examination of the wider legacy of Rhodes and the University on our city, a proud multicultural city.

Hear the voices of struggle and debate perspectives for the way forward. Leading activists from the USA, South Africa, Europe and Britain will be contributing, with an overview by US socialists..

The headquarters of the charitable trust founded by imperialist Cecil Rhodes will undergo a major expansion after plans were narrowly approved.

'We need a sophisticated conversation about Oxford’s colonial past, racism, and creating a truly anti-racist city', writes Anti-Racist City founder, city councillor and equalities campaigner Shaista Aziz

Thank you to everyone involved in today’s Oxford anti-racist city webinar. It is brilliant to see how people are working together to root out racism, discrimination and prejudice in our city and beyond. I am very sorry not to be able to join you today but hope that the event goes very well.
