EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT CUFSS are delighted to welcome Drs Anna Loutfi and Alka Sehgal-Cuthbert from Don't Divide Us, a grassroots movement that contests the view that the UK is systemically racist and instead advocates for "colourblind anti-racism". Our speakers recently co-authored a report for the Prosperity Institute, 'Some More Equal Than Others', as well as a Don't Divide Us report, 'The Equality Act Isn't Working', making their case against the Equality Act. In this event, Anna and Alka will explore the philosophical and legal case for repealing the EA in its entirety, challenging not merely its practical consequences but the underlying principle of state-enforced equality. The event will consider how equality legislation has undermined common law principles and created new restrictions on individual liberties, and why imposing positive duties in this area is problematic. Join us for a provocative discussion about one of the defining assumptions of modern British law, and the case for a radically different approach to equality and freedom. 🗓 Thursday 29th October 🕒 19:30 📍 central Cambridge location to be announced to ticket holders 🔉 Our speakers: Dr Alka Sehgal Cuthbert is an educator, academic, author, and campaigner.
