WCC Webinar: The Role of Christian Anti-Racism Actors

The Second International Decade of Solidarity with People of African Descent: The Role of Christian Anti-racism Actors

This ecumenical webinar hosted by the World Council of Churches (WCC) explores how faith actors can advance racial justice, decolonization, and reparations during the Second International Decade for People of African Descent (2025–2034). Participants engage with United Nations (UN) mandate holders to understand the decade’s goals and identify impactful ecumenical interventions. 

This session marks a critical step toward intentional, transformative action. 

Speakers

• Dr. Ashwini K.P., UN Special Rapporteur on Contemporary Forms of Racism
• Dr. Barbara G. Reynolds, Member, UN Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent
• Dr. Michael McEachrane, Member, UN Permanent Forum on People of African Descent

What to expect

This two-hour online engagement includes:

• Keynote presentations from UN mandate holders
• Interactive small group discussions to reflect and strategize
• Collective feedback session on possible ecumenical interventions for the second decade

The event is not just a discussion—it is the first step in building a global Christian response to racialized injustice against People of African Descent in the frame of the second international decade.
