To mark the International Day For The Elimination of Racial Discrimination the Sligo Traveller Support Group has put together a wonderful panel of speakers for Sunday evening March 21st at 7pm on their Facebook page. The issue of racial discrimination and marginalisation is one which impacts many communities and it is important that we all act in solidarity and support each other regardless of what communities we come from.
