“We are not dealing with fact, it’s feeling,” one police officer admitted. “A lot of people are labeled as gang members who are not.”

The #HostileEnvironment has increased over these past few years from #Schedule7 to the #GangsMatrix to the #WindrushScandal we have witnessed the recurrent
victimisation of religious/racial minorities over & over again by Govts. With our questions & human rights ignored.

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨

The Metropolitan Police will dismantle its racist #GangsMatrix database after landmark legal challenge from AWATE Unjust-UK and Liberty

If only 'Liberty' put as much effort into stopping the nightly gang stabbings.

The Voice Newspaper Sadiq Khan As an advisor to Sadiq during his 2015/16 Mayor campaign, I help write his manifesto where he made an undertaking to do this significant work in rectifying the racial discrimination element of the Metropolitan Police #GangsMatrix . Why oh why has it taken 5yrs for him to finally do this?

Well done Amnesty UK 👍 But should it really have been down to you? #GangsMatrix

Excited that for the next 2 days Unjust-UK is part of #GangsMatrix Roundtable at Goldsmiths, University of London hosted by Forensic Architecture. Thanks TottenhamRights.org founder and
Guest lecturer Stafford Scott for the invitation 👌🏿

Amazing news from Liberty that the Metropolitan police will dismantle its racist #GangsMatrix in the face of Liberty's legal challenge.

I wrote about the Matrix for AJ+ in March

Amnesty International: Police gang database 'racially discriminatory' and breaches international law news.sky.com/story/amnesty-… #humanrights #racism #gangcrime #knifecrime #gangsmatrix

IMPORTANT: urging everyone to support this vital legal challenge. Brought by Liberty, Unjust-UK & AWATE against the discriminatory #GangsMatrix which has blighted the lives of so many young black people. A database borne of, and perpetuated by, institutional racism 👇🏾

BREAKING

Liberty & Unjust-UK are taking the Met to court for its racist #GangsMatrix : a secret watchlist of 'gang members'

In reality anyone can be on it and be denied entitlements and targeted by stop & search

79% of ppl on it are Black

A really fascinating video we produced with Action for Race Equality about the Gangs Matrix. A controversial database created by the #MetPolice . It's an important issue that has impacted many lives and deserves to be more widely known. #GangsMatrix

#ScrapTheMatrix
#GangsMatrix

Off to Eurogang 🛫

Sharing research on the #gangsmatrix in London and taking stock of issues with gang databases with The Violence Project and Jose Sanchez

And will be delivering the highlight reel from #competingforcontrol with Scott Decker

But this is absurd as he presides over @MOPAC who have authored dozens of reports highlighting the existence of racial disproportionality and disparities visible at every single level of policing - from #GangsMatrix #StopAndSearch to the use of #UseOfExcessiveForce

none of this would have been possible without the pioneering work of TottenhamRights.org Stafford Scott Amnesty UK who first brought the injustices of the racist #GangsMatrix to light years ago, and the courageous AWATE Unjust-UK for fighting this with us 💥

Massive congratulations and thanks to AWATE and Unjust-UK on this important win for racial justice. And thanks to Adam Straw KC and Tayyiba Bajwa at DoughtyStPublic for their hard work too. It has been a real pleasure working with you all.

Brilliant work by all involved, including DoughtyStPublic colleagues Adam Straw KC & Tayyiba Bajwa, Lana Adamou Liberty, AWATE Unjust-UK. Take a look at this thread. #GangsMatrix

GINA Grace Williams You know about 14 yr old Jaden Moodie Grace Williams He was a victim of forced gang activity AKA modern slavery and brutally murdered in Waltham Forest. Then there was 14 yr old CJ wrongly put on the #gangsmatrix , shot in the head and nobody charged! Driven by racism and Corruption.
