the upcoming US NGO Conference Against Racism, and UER
(for background information refer to the pamphlet UER and the UN Conference Against Racism
and the information posted on the UER web site www.rc.org/uer)
Leader
talks about racism, decision we've made to end racism, and the work we've done since making
that decision (the pamphlet Working Together to End Racism is a good basis for this talk and
"UER Follow-up Activities—in South Africa, Nigeria, Columbia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile and the
United States" in Present Time #129, October 2002, page 47-50) or
shows excerpts from the video Reaching New People With Our Work to End Racism,
ten to fifteen minute segments from ten of the UER workshops at the UN World Conference
(we recommend the excerpts of Njoki Kamau on racism targeting African people, Azi Khalili
on Asian liberation, and/or Kerrie Tim on indigenous people's liberation). The leader can
then add his or her own thoughts.
