Equinox: Racial Justice Initiative

We're a coalition of racial and social justice leaders organising to end structural racism at the EU level through legislative and policy changes. We work across our communities in solidarity and represent different intersecting movements. We exist for - and are led by - racialised people. We advocate for system change in the EU: We move beyond discourses of ‘hate’ and harm at the level of the individual; we challenge structures - the policies, the laws and the institutions maintaining the exclusion of Europe’s racialised communities. We centre intersectionality and representation: We need racialised people and communities to be at the centre of all decisions, laws and policy affecting us. This includes an attention to how different forms of oppression intersect, and processes of marginalisation within communities, We find power in solidarity: We find unity is power and that full alignment and solidarity within and beyond the racial justice movement are the building blocks for change. Whilst we represent different communities with different experiences of discrimination, we find a common thread.
