21 March was declared International Day for the Elimination of Racial
Discrimination by the General Assembly of the United Nations as a
reaction to the murder of 70 peaceful demonstrators in Sharpeville,
South Africa in 1960. In the Action Week from 20-28 March 2004 once
again hundreds of activities will take place all around Europe,
organised by a wide variety of organisations. Activities range from
demonstration and debates to film festivals and from special TV programs
to cleaning the walls of racist slogans.

RACISM: SPOT IT AND STOP IT!
This year's campaign for the European-wide Action Week Against Racism
aims to raise awareness among people towards racism in everyday-life. In
addition, anti-racist education is necessary to empower people to resist
racist propaganda. The campaign aims to make racism visible in order to
erase it. This includes our own prejudice towards others. Let's not look
away when racism occurs, let's not tolerate intolerance, let's Spot
racism!

UNITED co-ordinates the activities, functions as an information point
and distributes campaign material. Please send information on your
activities. A regularly updated list of activities will be published on
http://www.unitedagainstracism.org and in the Calendar of
Internationalism.

You can order up to 100 posters for free! (see order form below) If you
need more for special purposes contact the UNITED secretariat. Further
information on this years campaign can be found  on 
http://www.unitedagainstracism.org  (under 'campaigns' or 'new')
