We run campaigns that tackle structural racism, empower people of colour to shape policy discussions that affect our lives and build the capacity in our communities. Are you someone who is ... Deeply passion for racial justice and a world where the inherent worth and dignity of everyone is recognised Curious to identify root causes, and goes beyond treating symptoms Independent and self-starting - with a resilient, solutions focussed approach and an open mind Highly emotionally intelligence and self-awareness - aware of your strengths and weaknesses and your impact on others Can take and give feedback well - always tells the truth about performance Humble with a low ego - puts the impact of the movement first in everything you do Committed to diversity, equity and anti-oppression Why should you join us? We are dedicated to societal transformation, not just short-term policy change. That means supporting you.
