You are Invited to CARJ AGM by Zoom this Saturday 6th Nov

Sat 6th November 2021 (11:00 – 13:00) 

Theme: Racial Justice and the Debate about Terminology

Dear Members and Friends of CARJ
This is a reminder of the CARJ Annual General Meeting (AGM) which will take place on Saturday 6 November 2021(11:00 – 13:00) by Zoom. Those who wish to attend need to register with the CARJ Administrator at info@carj.org.uk.
 
The morning session of the AGM (11:00 – 12:00) will be the business meeting, with Reports and Election of Trustees.
 
This will be followed by a Panel and Discussion around the theme – ‘Racial Justice and the Debate about terminology.’
 
There are now several terms which have, in recent years, entered the dialogue concerning racial justice. But there’s not always agreement on how they should be used or if they are helpful. Recent Government reports or statements (Sewell, Halfon, Badenoch) have referred to some of them (Institutional Racism, White privilege, Microaggressions, Critical Race Theory etc) either to restrict their meaning or to reject their validity. The AGM, this year, will explore some of these terms and their use in Government reports or statements to enable our members decide for themselves.
 
Papers for the AGM are now available on the CARJ website – www.carj.org.uk. These include:

  • CARJ Annual Report
  • Draft Financial Statement.
  • Papers relating to election of Trustees.
  • Membership Application and Gift Aid form
  • AGM 2020 Minutes


If for any reason you would like to have hard copies of these papers, please contact the Administrator at info@carj.org.uk ASAP and we will be very happy to send them to you.

This is a great time to Join CARJ by becoming a member!

Only members of CARJ can vote at the business meeting, but anyone interested in CARJ is welcome to attend and participate. There is no charge for attendance.

For Membership information contact CARJ at info@carj.org.uk

You have to register to be sent a link (sent a few days before the AGM) to participate by Zoom. If the technological format for the AGM has made it extremely difficulty to participate, please contact CARJ and we will do anything we can to support you.

I hope to see you on the day.

Yours sincerely

Yogi Sutton
Chair Person
