First they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for the communists, and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a communist.

Then they came for trade unionists, and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the homosexuals, and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a homosexual.

Then they came for me,
but by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.

Pastor Niemoller, a German submarine commander in WW1, opposed Hitler and was imprisoned.

Here's some things you might think about doing. Please make a promise and see if you can keep it...

• I will get my school to have clear rules that everyone knows outlaw racial bullying and harassment. 
• I will watch what I say about 'race' when I lose my temper. 
• If someone is being racially harassed, I will report it to my teacher, the police or the local Racial Equality Council. The numbers are in the phone book!
