An immediate mandate to remove all public monuments related to "Slave Trade"

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Action for parliament to agree on a mandate to start the removal of any slave trade related monuments and street names all over the United Kingdom.

This acts as a painful reminder of over 400 years of slavery, oppression and social injustice...We must recognize the opportunity, desperation and urgent cry to reform the justice system and it's treatment of the B.A.M.E community at large!
The removal of these monuments will be welcomed as a step forward to start the healing process and much needed change.
