Anti-Racist activism Opportunities in France: SOS Racisme at AUP

The American University of Paris and SOS Racisme are working together to fight racism, anti-Semitism and discrimination.

Join us for this presentation by Saphia Aït Ouarabi (vice-president of SOS Racisme and a student at Sciences Po, Paris) and JOIN THE FIGHT!

SOS Racisme (https://sos-racisme.org/), qui sommes-nous ? Who are we?

Founded in 1984, SOS Racisme is a national association that promotes the ideal of a society in which everyone has their place with equal dignity. 
To do this, we fight against racism, anti-Semitism and discrimination through several levers: law, popular education and citizen mobilization.

• Our goal is to fight racial discrimination. 
• We are very often the plaintiff in discrimination trials. 
• We also offer support to immigrants and racial minorities that are facing discrimination. We are also heavily involved in protesting and publicizing examples of discrimination in society and in the law.

Created after massive mobilizations of citizens sharing the will to advance equality, SOS Racisme has grown throughout France.
