DISCRIMINATION Kick It Out – Take A Stand press release FINAL – EMBARGOED UNTIL
00.01 ON SUNDAY 11th OCTOBER 2020 – Kick It Out has today launched a new
campaign, called Take A Stand, which is encouraging people across the football
community to take action in the battle against discrimination. Kick It Out,
football’s equality and inclusion organisation, has teamed up with a range of
partners to launch the initiative, including Facebook and the FA. Most football
fans will have witnessed some form of discrimination in football – on the
terraces, in dressing rooms or on social media – but more needs to be done to
move from awareness to action. Through Take A Stand, Kick It Out want to create
a culture where individuals take personal responsibility for being part of the
change. That includes fans, players, managers, CEOs, stewards, governing bodies,
shop assistants and social media organisations – everyone on and off the pitch.
Take A Stand is both a challenge and an invitation for individuals and
organisations to publicly commit to their own pledge. It is also a movement that
everyone can play a part in. Facebook is supporting Take A Stand by launching
initiatives focussed on action, and centred on reporting and education. It is
building a new automated Messenger service, for when fans are back in stadiums,
enabling people to report matchday discrimination directly to Kick It Out.
Facebook is also launching a new education programme targeted directly at fans
of all ages. It is piloting this new training module with anti-hate charity,
HOPE not Hate, delivered through clubs’ community and fan engagement programmes.
The pilot will be launched in close collaboration with the England national
teams, Derby County F.C. and Portsmouth F.C., before being rolled-out further in
2021.
