  • Motion reference: S4M-08049

That the Parliament welcomes the 10th annual Show Racism the Red Card's Fortnight of Action in Scotland, which runs from 18 to 31 October 2013; echoes Show Racism the Red Card's call to stand against racism and sectarianism; notes what it sees as the success of the over 500 actions that took place in 2012 and the intention to expand the diversity and reach of such initiatives; commends the action by all of the professional football clubs across Scotland in setting aside their rivalries to come together to champion this important issue, and encourages people everywhere to speak out against racial stereotypes, cultural ignorance and intolerance.
