UNITED e-news: September 2021

Dear UNITED friends and allies,

We are back in operation - what a year it's been! In the slow wake-up of post-lockdown life, more than half the year is already over. In the background of all this, you have all still continued, unabated, with your anti-racism work, and we couldn't be more proud. You have contributed to our campaign for International Refugee Day (a roundup of that will be included in the next e-news), and you have collaborated with our Campaign Preparatory Group. To all that, we say THANK YOU.

We are back now after the summer with more updates, and we can't wait for more of your inputs.
