===== Dominican Republic: The fight against racism must be respected and protected by the authorities =====

[https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2025/03/republica-dominicana-la-lucha-contra-el-racismo-debe-ser-respetada-y-protegida-por-las-autoridades/ by AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL 26/3/25]

“The authorities must act decisively in the face of the increasing threats against those defending the human rights of Haitian migrants, Dominicans of Haitian descent affected by statelessness and Afro-descendants. Failure to do so could result in physical violence and the permanent silencing of a part of Dominican civil society.”

===== France’s Anti-Racism Action Plan Ignores Institutional Racism =====

[https://www.hrw.org/news/2023/02/06/frances-anti-racism-action-plan-ignores-institutional-racism by AlmazTeffera 6/2/23 HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH]

On January 30, French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne launched the National Plan Combating Racism, Antisemitism and Discrimination Linked to Origin 2023-2026. While this new action plan on racism is welcome, it leaves huge gaps.

===== How social media is helping students of color speak out about racism on campus =====

[https://www.pbs.org/newshour/education/how-social-media-is-helping-students-of-color-speak-out-about-racism-on-campusby Christian Pena 8/9/20 PBS NEWS]

On social media, students are sharing their experiences at predominantly white institutions (PWIs), calling for the end of the implicit and explicit racial biases they face, and demanding accountability from administrators. To some, accountability means sparking discussions about race and the inequalities present in college. For others, it means that students who act in racist ways would face consequences such as suspension, having their Greek organization closed, or even expulsion from the institution.

===== To Address Systemic Racism, We Must Dismantle Housing Discrimination and Segregation =====

[https://www.aclu.org/news/racial-justice/to-address-systemic-racism-we-must-dismantle-housing-discrimination-and-segregation by Jennifer Bellamy 4/5/21 ACLU]

The Fair Housing Act of 1968 was a key part of Congress’ response to a report commissioned by President Johnson to investigate civil unrest in Black and Brown communities between 1965 and 1967. The Kerner Commission’s report warned Congress that “America is dividing into two societies, Black and White, separate and unequal.”

===== To End Systemic Racism, Ensure Systemic Equality =====

[https://www.aclu.org/news/racial-justice/ending-systemic-racism-requires-ensuring-systemic-equality by ReNika Moore 8/2/21 ACLU]

To begin to heal and move toward real racial justice, we must address not only the harms of the past four years, but also the harms tracing back to this country’s origins. Racism has played an active role in the creation of our systems of education, health care, ownership, and employment, and virtually every other facet of life since this nation’s founding.

===== What do we mean by racial justice? =====

[https://www.amnesty.org/en/what-we-do/discrimination/racial-justice/ by Matthew Hatcher 23/11/20 AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL]

When it comes to human rights, racial justice work means going beyond preventing individual cases of racial discrimination and combating structural oppression. It involves working towards systemic change and solutions, by targeting the root causes of racial oppression as it intersects with patriarchy, colonialism and slavery as well as economic inequality.

===== Native American tribes land buybacks start a commercial approach to social justice =====
