Solidarity statement with footballers experiencing racism

16 July 2021

UCU condemns the racist abuse which has been directed towards Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka, Jadon Sancho and other members of the England national football squad in the days following Sunday's European Championship final.

Racism has no place in our society or our workplaces, but this week's events are a stark reminder that black people and communities across the UK continue to receive racist abuse on a regular basis.

UCU sends our solidarity to all those experiencing racism and reaffirms our commitment to tackling racism in all its forms.
