UNITED E-News September 2024 - Back and Ready to Act

Dear UNITED Network,

as the title of this Newsletter recites, we're back after our Summer Break to bring you updates and info, hoping they will provide you with inspiration and spirit to face our common and many challenges, contrasting discrimination and racism in our everyday life.

For this reason we would like to start by sharing with you the updated version of our publication Who if not You? Standing Up against Racist Attacks, a guide we published in 2011 and that it's still very relevant today since it offers many simple ways to feel empowered and to respond to racist attacks in various scenarios, always prioritizing the safety and well-being of the victims.

You can read and download the guide for free here, so don’t miss this chance and use it in your everyday life and let us know in what kind of actions you intend to use it.
