Home Truths 2
Home Truths 2 is a programme from ACEVO and Voice4Change England designed to challenge and support mainstream UK civil society to take serious practical action on anti-racism and race equity. It leads on from the Home Truths report published in 2020.
Our central tenets at Home Truths are that racism is:
- real and causes significant harm;
- carried in institutional policies, practices and norms;
- a problem in civil (and wider) society.
We understand that racism erases people’s humanity and their possibilities. It divides us from one another. But crucially, we also know that it is possible to end racism and to create a society where everyone can thrive.
It is not easy to make real and lasting progress on anti-racism and race equity. But positive change does happen. It is happening.
Civil society organisations can play a vital part in advancing anti-racism, race equity and broader justice.
Race Equity Series
The content of the Companion Journal is drawn from a five-part thematic Race Equity Series run as part of Home Truths 2. Each part of the series covers an important area of practice to support civil society to solve its ongoing racism problem.
If this Companion Journal is your first encounter with Home Truths, please take a look at the resources for the Race Equity Series. You will find online recorded sessions with leading keynote speakers, written Q&As with anti-racist practitioners and a set of Companion Notes to guide practical action and stimulate new approaches.
This wealth of content can be found on the Home Truths 2, Race Equity Series website.
