Race on the Agenda (ROTA)
ROTA is a leading social policy think-tank focusing on issues that affect Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) communities. Originally set up in 1984, ROTA aims to increase the capacity of BAME organisations and strengthen the voice of BAME communities through increased civic engagement and participation in society.
ROTA is a membership organisation with charitable status.
Their presence in London is enhanced by their regional networks, MiNet and TJF.
MiNet is the London focused BAME network of networks, which joined ROTA in 2002 to strengthen the voice for London's BAME Third Sector in the development of regional policy. Transformative Justice Forum (TJF) is a regional forum bringing together key criminal justice organisations from across sectors to work in partnership at a strategic level to provide policy support and representation of issues affecting groups that are highly victimised.
Nationally, ROTA is leading on the "Winning the Race Coalition" of third sector organisations aiming to influence race equality legislation. Equality organisations and individuals with an interest in the coalition's objective and principles are welcome to apply to become members. For further information contact:
