Liberate offers support to anyone living and working in Jersey from abroad. We have particularly strong links with the Black African community. It is estimated that the Black and mixed race population in Jersey now exceeds 2,000 people. This figure increases during the summer through seasonal workers in Jersey’s industries.

BLM Jersey formed as a result of the Black Lives Matter protests that occurred across the world and in Jersey on 6 June 2020. The protest in People’s Park saw over a thousand people of all colours stand in solidarity to say that black lives matter here, too. This message has remained a priority as systemic issues continue to make life unequal for migrants to Jersey.

There are a number of charities supporting our migrant workforce that align closely with Liberate and make supporting this community a partnership enterprise. The Swahili word Harambee means ‘all work together’, which is what this joint initiative embodies.
