Title
Placard using 'Stay Alert' message
Description
This placard is shown using the Westminster Governments messaging to highlight the ties between COVID and systemic racism.
The 2020 pandemic has exposed the extent of social inequalities within the UK. Government statistics have shown that the BAME community have a higher rate of death due to COVID.
Issues arose from Westministers decision to replace the red colour scheme of the ‘Stay home’ message with the green ‘Stay Alert’.
