The murder of George Floyd + A way forward against racial inequality

This week, as we all look on, horrified, at police brutality in
the US, we discuss racial inequalities in the UK, in the Labour
Party and in all aspects of our lives. What, if anything, can we
do about it politically and policy-wise? Joining the podcast are
Lewis Iwu, CEO and co-founder of Prospect Union; Leon
Alleyne-McLaughlin, Young Fabians secretary and co-founder of the
YF BAME advocacy group; and Redha Rubaie and Mark McVitie,
podcast regulars. Moderating is producer Carolina Saludes. 



To all our female listeners: we want you in our podcast, so if
you’re passionate about a topic just get in touch with us at
podcast@youngfabians.org.uk. We want to hear from
you.
