Reading fans spell it out
Football fans have a proud history of challenging racism in the game.
As the lifeblood of the game fan activities are crucial to the week of action's success and it will come as no surprise that the idea for the Week of Action came from a fan who wanted to become more involved in the campaign.
Thousands of fans get involved in the Week of Action each year by staging their own events or working alongside their club to set out a clear message.
Here are just a few ways fans can do their bit during the Week of Action:
- Produce your own anti-racism leaflet to distribute at a match or a banner to display around the ground.
- Get fans to sign up to an anti-racism pledge. Community Chest grants can be applied for to achieve this.
- Work with your club on their anti-racism game during the period.
- Organise a pre-match activity, such as an anti-racism fans friendly.
- Work with minority groups to organise an event.
- Involve and inform your online community through forums, message boards, etc.
Or you can make your own personal statement by ordering a t-shirt and a badge from us. Other resources can also be applied for during the week of action.
