ALT We are recruiting: Senior Communications Officer. Salary: £32,284 per annum +£4,000 London weighting (allowances as applicable). Permanent full-time role, 36.5 hours a week. Location: Agile/London/Leeds/Homeworking. Closing date: 28 July (midnight).

ALT This violent racism has long been simmering under the surface. What is happening is the direct result of years of normalised racism and Islamophobia, enabled by politicians and the British media. As far-right mobs threaten mosques, intimidate and harass people, and throw Nazi salutes, we offer our utmost solidarity to people of colour, and Muslim communities in particular. Even in their responses to this violence, our Prime Minister and Home Secretary fail to centre Muslim people, or call out racism for what it is. What we are seeing unfold is more than “thuggery”, it is violent racism. This is an inevitable outcome of years of state sponsored Islamophobia and racism, where Muslims, people of colour and migrants are scapegoated as a distraction from decades of economic hardship and political failings. We demand political leadership that recognises that challenging the far right is not simply a question of tackling online misinformation, or increased police surveillance.
