without us’

We are a leading UK-based anti-racist charity putting communities impacted by systemic racism and racial injustice at the heart of the solutions.

ROTA operates as a community of over 2,700 members who are central to our work to combat structural racism in the UK.

We work collaboratively with impacted communities and the organisations that support them to generate evidence and advocate for policy and systemic change at all levels of government and society. We use our campaigning expertise to enable Black and Global Majority communities in the UK to exercise their power, wield influence and drive meaningful change.
