BLM statistics...

“Prejudice is a burden that confuses the past, threatens the future and renders the present inaccessible.” – Maya Angelou

HappiMe are spending the week focusing on the Black Lives Matter movement. Since we are fighting for social change, we thought that these statistics were important to share:

• In 2018, a British study conducted by ONS showed that, on average, a black person will earn more than a £1 per hour less than a white person doing the same job.
• In the USA, on average, black families earn 13% less than white families (published by Brookings).
• In 2018, 93% of the UK police force were white (published by gov.uk).

What do you think of these statistics? HappiMe want to blow facts like this out of the water… How? Well, please take a look at the organisations you can support below to see how you can help:

• Community Fund - Splitting donations between the organisations who need it most. 
• The Black Curriculum – Reimagining the future of education through Black British history.
  

Thank you.
