Help Scrap Prevent - the UK governments "terrorism" prevention policy
From attending an Extinction Rebellion protest to voicing anti-racist views online, these rights might land you a "Prevent" referral.
So, what is "Prevent"? It is a seriously flawed UK government policy. Schools, universities, hospitals, and local authorities are all under a duty to refer people who are at risk of being “drawn into terrorism.” This is supposed to protect us, but in reality, it is doing the opposite.
Often, the ones hit the hardest are children, neurodivergent people, and Muslim people. They are wrongly flagged as high risks for being "drawn into terrorism", despite never committing a crime or displaying intention to do so.
The reasons for "Prevent" referrals are often a mystery, and there is no clear way to challenge them. Gut instincts drive these decisions, paving the way for more racism in our institutions.
But here is the thing: the power to change this narrative is in our hands.
By scrapping "Prevent" and championing the cause of equality, justice, and dignity for all, irrespective of their backgrounds or circumstances, we can create a reality that reflects our values for a better future.
