 NMP continues as one of only a small number of independent community organisations providing specialist casework support around racial discrimination in the UK.Research indicates that independent community groups provide avenues of support not available from racial equality councils, housing departments or police, to the black community to combat racist incidents.The organisation continues to publicly argue racism remains rooted in the fabric of British society, as shown by the recent anti-terrorism legislation and stop and search powers, which disproportionately affect black communities.
