There was a time when Manchester Climate Monthly was edited by a white guy and a BME woman. But then she (Arwa Aburawa) accepted a demotion to go and work for Al Jazeera…
On a serious note, journalism in this country is crushingly crushingly white. Red Pepper is trying to do something about this. They would like some of your money…

| Did you know that 94% of British journalists are white?! As a media project supporting movements for social and economic justice we feel it’s an urgent priorityto support black and minority activist writers. We want to recruit a new section editor with first hand experience of the struggle for black liberation.
We’re aiming to raise £2.5K in 30 days, it would be much appreciated if you coulddonate – any amount small or large will make a difference. There are some perks to choose from too 🙂
In return for your contribution you could receive a magazine subscription or a lucky-dip radical book.
Funds raised will support journalism covering campaigns and creativity in areas such as:
• the Black Lives Matter movement
• black feminism
• detention centres
• borders
• police state
• cultural appropriation
• afrofuturism
• the impacts of climate change
• the sharp edge of austerity
Find out more and donate via the indiegogo page.
THANK YOU! |
