Global Racism

We recommend the following actions:

1. That the General Commission on Religion and Race monitor, address and make known throughout the denomination those deeply rooted manifestations of racism, both old and new, that still contradict the principles of racial justice to which the United Methodist Church has long been committed.

7. That United Methodist Communications and related bodies consult together in planning and implementing a process to provide that members of the mass media in the United States examine racism in reporting, both in and outside the United States, and examine racism in advertising.
