A Black Christian theologian, a Hindu Scholar & a Muslim Imam, have all suffered institutional racism & religious prejudice and are making a legal challenge to the Union's acts of Discrimination.

In the context of #BlackLivesMatter, the Archbishop of Canterbury has accepted that the Church is "deeply institutionally racist"

Against this background, three black ethnic minority clergy, a Black Theologian, Hindu scholar and Muslim Imam, have jointly been whistleblowers of serious institutional racial and religious discrimination, bullying and harassment within the faith workers Branch of Unite the Union, the largest Trades Union in the country.

These three black clerics have experienced extreme racial and religious discrimination within the predominantly white Anglican-Methodist leadership of the Clergy Union ('Unite Faith Workers’ Branch).  As whistleblowers, they have all experienced unlawful victimisation and harassment for raising these concerns
(please visit our website here for more details including videos of witness testmony).

When we are successful, a precedent will have been set which will ensure that Unite makes valuing racial and religious Diversity an institutional reality, and that non-white and non Anglican people are not merely "tolerated", as a tick box exercise, for the sake of appearance. If even the Union fails in this duty, where does the small person go to seek justice and equality?

We are raising funds to continue with legal action against Unite the Union to ensure that our rights are restored, reparation is made for harm and discrimination and that in future racial and religious supremacy has no role in Union affairs. We need your support: please contribute and share this page now.

How much we are raising and why? - We have been advised that £25,000 will be required before 30th May 2021 in order to proceed with the hearing scheduled for mid September 2021.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this and thank you for (hopefully!) choosing to help us.
