The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Lily Ochmanska, Lacey Smith and Bobby Waugh, who are students at North West Community Campus in Dumfries, on being chosen as finalists in Show Racism the Red Card's 2021 Creative Competition, which has attracted entries from more than 1,500 young people from across Scotland who have produced fantastic artwork, poetry, creative writing, t-shirt designs, music and short films highlighting the charity's annual Wear Red Day, which takes place on 22 October; praises the role of Show Racism the Red Card in getting the message across that lives should not be ruined by racism, acknowledges what it sees as the advancement of the anti-racism movement thanks to putting education at its core; believes that from the worst comes the best, and encourages people to speak meaningfully on the subject of challenging racism, knowing that doing so could change hearts, minds and lives.
