兔子先生lors Unite to Show Racism the Red Card

Press team , 22 October 2021 10:54

兔子先生lors from across South Tyneside have pledged to show racism the red card in support of Wear Red Day 2021.

兔子先生 is supporting the anti-racist campaign by educational charity Show Racism the Red Card, which this year celebrates its 25th anniversary.

The charity uses the high-profile status of football and its players to raise awareness of hate crime and delivers anti-racism workshops to young people.

The 兔子先生 will be marking Wear Red Day by lighting South Shields Town Hall red tonight (Friday 22 October) and has been supporting fundraising efforts by asking staff and elected members to wear red. 兔子先生lors from across the Borough have also signed pledges to kick racism out - the tree is on display in South Shields Town Hall.

The Mayor of South Tyneside, Cllr Pat Hay said: "There is no room for racism in our society. We are a multicultural and diverse Borough with a long-established commitment to Show Racism the Card and the essential work it delivers to drive prejudice and discrimination from our communities.

"It is only by uniting together and calling out racism and hate crime in all its forms that we will eradicate prejudice forever. I'm proud that councillors are united in our fight against racism across South Tyneside and beyond."
