Banbury, Chipping Norton & North Oxfordshire Labour Party Labour party for the Banbury constituency, which also includes Chipping Norton, Charlbury and the villages of North Oxfordshire.
At the request of Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer, Baroness Doreen Lawrence has published a review of reasons why Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities were disproportionately effected by the Covid pandemic.
The overwhelming message was that this must be a watershed moment for change. Black, Asian and minority ethnic people have been overexposed, under protected, stigmatised and overlooked during this pandemic – and this has been generations in the making. The impact of Covid is not random, but foreseeable and inevitable – the consequence of decades of structural injustice, inequality and discrimination that blights our society. We are in the middle of an avoidable crisis. And this report is a rallying cry to break that clear and tragic pattern.
We wholeheartedly recommend that you give it a read at www.lawrencereview.co.uk.
