On 10 June 2020, SEMA Shropshire Ethnic Minority Alliance, now renamed Shropshire Equality Means Action, posted the following on its Facebook page:
'Several updates for you from SEMA. There is a lot going on, so we will be as brief as possible. This is to point you in the direction of upcoming and ongoing initiatives in Shropshire and Telford Wrekin.
We will get to MP Danny K at the end. First some basics for those getting involved.
First thing is the BLM Protest. There have been two so far that you may have caught. Ad hoc demonstrations took place in Telford on the 4th and Shrewsbury on the 6th. These were fantastic events that SEMA was not involved in. Many connections were made between different activists, and from there a collective has started up to support one another's mutual aims.
The next event is on the 14th, in Telford. 12.30pm in the Telford Town Centre. SEMA supports the students who have organised that event. We encourage people to attend and to follow this instructions on the event page.

On the 19th is the massive event in Birmingham for which we will contribute several local actions. Your creative involvement is welcome. These pop-up actions and group spaces will revolve around key themes and ongoing focuses for SEMA and for anti-racism work in this part of the country.

This also involves lots of people who are not under the SEMA umbrella, but who we are working alongside and in support of.
Such actions/projects involve:
1. Video and podcast interviews made by local young activists, detailing aspects of the current struggle, profiling leaders from the generations before, and linking generations and communities together to work for a better West Midlands.
2. Creating anti-racism curricula and working with national organisations doing the same in order to reevaluate and update the (lack of) education that has been the story so far in these counties and much of the country.
3. Promoting and supporting non-affiliated efforts already underway, such as Refugee Week (15-21 June) and Windrush Day (22 June) and the organisations and individuals that head those up.
4. Develop SEMA into an organisation. Our inaugural event was in February. It is now time to move forward and into the vision for which we were formed. This new organisation is emerging out of the conversations and efforts above.
Now for Mr. Kawczynski. The Member for Shrewsbury and Atcham has spoken on the "huge pluses" and "tremendous source for good" of the Empire. MP Kawczynski's comments are an insulting cover up of the truth of the oppression and plunder done in Empire's name; its basic function and meaning for those it ruled over in Asia, Africa, the Americas and Oceania is one of robbery, misery and murder. We are beyond tired of the likes of MP Kawczynski and other enthusiasts for murder and oppression.
Our official response is on its way, including recommendations for reading material in DK's "blow by blow account" being undertaken on the life and times of the robber-baron, Robert Clive.
Your sincerely,
the ad hoc organising committee of
the Shropshire Ethnic Minority Alliance'
