ClubLFC supports Premier League's No Room For Racism initiative

All Premier League fixtures between October 19 and 27 will be dedicated to the No Room For Racism initiative, highlighting the ongoing work the league carries out to tackle discrimination and promote diversity within football.

Players will take the knee ahead of kick-off to highlight unity against all forms of racism and No Room For Racism branding will feature across the match, from the ball plinth to the substitutions board.

LFC Foundation nominated Carvell Cushion, its business administration coordinator, as its 'No Room For Racism Icon' for his leadership and dedication to fostering a culture of respect, understanding and collaboration, which has had a big impact on the foundation's workforce and in the community.

The Premier League commissioned artist Kingsley Nebechi to develop illustrations of the nominees from all 20 clubs to demonstrate the impact they have made. An illustration will also be produced to recognise the contribution of former Kick It Out chair Lord Herman Ouseley, who passed away earlier this month.

Red Together, which encompasses the club's commitment to ensuring equality, diversity and inclusion, encourages fans to take a stand against hate and report any incidents of racism and discriminatory abuse both online and inside stadiums.  

If fans witness any anti-social, discriminatory or abusive behaviour – including tragedy chanting or gesturing – they can report it to their nearest steward in confidence or text 'LFC' followed by a message to 64446, providing details of the incident and the location in the stadium. The club also has an online reporting system in place to log incidents of abuse, which is available at liverpoolfc.com/reportabuse.

All reports of abuse received by the club will be investigated and escalated to the relevant authorities to be dealt with. The club also continues to work with the Premier League, Football Association and other integral organisations, as well as calling on social media platforms to take swift and tough action against perpetrators.

Fans can also report any racist abuse they see directed at players or others within the game via the Premier League's reporting platform at www.premierleague.com/reportracism.
