What is CARE’s Mission for BEAM Communities
• To get various communities of people to recognise how racism is a divisive social
construct which affects us all, as no one gets a pass.
• To look at various ways of how we can recondition our thoughts, feeling and
behaviours without fear which is the driving force of inequality, discrimination and
racism.
• We want to change the narrative to promote allyship while recognising other
communities who are also disadvantaged and marginalised as part of the fight
for equality.
• While not forgetting our Identity, our heritage and our individual experiences and
journeys
