Very glad to see that #Austria published its 1st #Antiracism Strategy yesterday. It is an essential step taken towards the fight against racism at EU level. It was developed in a participatory process in close cooperation with civil society & academia. bmkoes.gv.at/Themen/Aktuell…

I have experienced a deliberate hate crime attack in Tallaght a few hours ago. I would like to express my gratitude to the kind Irish lady and two Irish gentlemen who assisted me when I collapsed and safely helped me into my car. I am currently receiving medical care at the hospital. Also, thank you my community members who have come immediately to my support.
