Dear Colleague,
“WEAR RED DAY” ON 21st OCTOBER 2022
Branches will be aware that the CWU has been a longstanding supporter of “Wear Red Day” and our links with the organisation Show Racism the Red Card (SRtRC) has been an important part of our wider anti –racism strategy to combat racism in our workplaces and communities.
We are delighted to be promoting ‘Wear Red Day’, which is taking place on Friday 21st October 2022. We would like to remind everyone of the support we need from all our representatives to make the day a huge success.
On Friday 21st October we are asking everyone in the CWU to wear Red.
Over 200,000 people have already pledged their support to Show Racism the Red Card campaign this year. We are hoping for a strong show support on the day. People supporting the campaign will be invited to share their pictures using the #WRD22 – wearing their red tops.
Wear Red day graphics and support cards can be accessed using the link below.

The CWU is committed to continuing our work in challenging racism both in the workplace and in wider society and your support across the country is very much appreciated.
Any further enquiries regarding this LTB should be directed to equality&education@cwu.org
Yours sincerely,
Dave Ward Kate Hudson
General Secretary Head of Equality, Education & Development
