Black Lives Matter activists are carrying out a coordinated day of action to protest against racism in the UK. If you’re taking part in the protests, we’d like you to share your reasons why and what you hope will change.
Black Lives Matter UK (UKBLM), a loose network of anti-racism activists, called the action – which it describes as a “shutdown” – to coincide with the fifth anniversary of the death of Mark Duggan, who was shot dead by police during a hard stop.
Protestors blocked roads in three major cities including London, where traffic has been brought to a standstill outside Heathrow airport on Friday.
You can share your reasons for taking part using the form below. We’ll use a selection of responses in our reporting.
