The CARJ Annual General Meeting will take place on Saturday 3 November 2018 at St Thomas More Church, 9 Henry Rd, London N4 2LH (11:00 – 4:00). Arrivals and registration from 10:30. The business meeting will start promptly at 11:00, followed by Mass, lunch, and an afternoon session exploring the theme:
Equality and Community – Future Search
The BREXIT Referendum has highlighted some of the serious
divisions in our society. These divisions are set against the threat of terrorism, migration to and from the UK, a widening gap between rich and poor, discrimination, disadvantage and hate crime. In the face of
this complex local and global challenge, we in CARJ are seeking a strategy which offers equality and community to the diverse groups who need support – including:
Migrants, refugees, victims of trafficking and EU citizens in the wake of Brexit
Young people struggling to achieve their full potential
Muslim and Jewish groups who may be victims of Islamophobia and Anti-Semitism
All victims of hate crime.
Families in de-industrialised areas who feel ‘left behind’
Black and minority ethnic groups in the criminal justice system
Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities
Those who suffer caste discrimination in the UK
Speakers and Inter-active discussion (2:00 – 3:30)
Two speakers will introduce the theme. We will then go into discussion groups and return for an inter-active session which will discuss the theme in relation to our future work.
