We are appalled and disappointed at the violent race riots unfolding on our streets which are targeting Muslims and ethnic minorities. No one deserves to be discriminated against or attacked for their beliefs. The scenes unfolding are horrific, and we are very concerned with the safety of all young people, of all backgrounds, across the UK.
At Youth Leads UK, we believe in uplifting and supporting young people. We believe in a community built on compassion, respect, and inclusion, and have no tolerance for discrimination, hate speech, or violence of any kind. In times of hardship and hatred, we must stand against it. Youth Leads UK are proud to work with young people from all backgrounds and religious beliefs. We all agree that these shameful riots have no place in our communities.
To all young people affected, you matter, and we are always here to support you.
