Together with the Trade Union Congress Midlands, Stand Up to Racism has summoned more than 60 organisations to Victoria Square this Sunday 4th October for the Birmingham’s Unity Rally.

A few weeks ago, I posted this blog entry telling you about a petition to the Government, asking for a statutory duty requiring AI developers to disclose the copyrighted works used to train generative AI. Not too long after, the petition reached 10,000 signatures. This meant that the Government had to formally respond to it, with they did on 27 August. Works is being done, but we need to exert more pressure.
The recent death of Dr. Jason Arday, the youngest black person to ever become a Cambridge professor has, yet again, highlighted the issues others have towards people of colour. Whilst this happened in the UK, you don’t have to be a British national to sign the petition being raised in order to prevent such a tragedy from repeating itself.
The political situation is daunting, and it can feel like a lost cause already. However, the far-right still has a long way before it can seize absolute power. This means that we have the opportunity and duty to oppose them. Donate, get involved, speak up. Never let go of your empathy and your heart. We can do this together!
