In partnership with Labour Community Services and Urban Alliance on Race Relations, we hosted an event for this year's International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. To honour the recently-departed Archbishop Desmond Tutu, our title was inspired by his quote: "I wish I could shut up, but I can't and I won't."
