“We stand with the victims of violence fuelled by extremism, racism and Islamophobia. Witnessing these events has been painful. We are hurt, angry and frustrated.
We know the violence on our streets and in our communities has a history; it is not occurring in a vacuum. We are not surprised.
Over the last few weeks we have seen the offline results of online irresponsibility, hate and lies. People are scared. This will leave scars – physical, emotional and social – deepening divides and hate.
These are acutely difficult topics and we will not find neat solutions by hiding away. This is the reason we founded ConnectFutures, to tackle these exact issues, with expertise, from the grassroots up.”
