Yesterday, the Australian Human Rights Commission launched a new online anti-racism resource, What You Say Matters to educate young people about racism and to empower them to respond safely when they experience or witness racism.
The resource includes a hip-hop video clip and online educational content, and is designed to encourage 14-17 year olds to reflect and to act safely in response to incidences of racism at school, in their peer group, sports club or communities. The music video clip features Indigenous hip hop artist Brothablack and was created with the participation of students from James Meehan High School in south western Sydney.
You can watch the video and check out the online content on the “Racism. It Stops with Me’ campaign website (http://itstopswithme.humanrights.gov.au/whatyousaymatters).
