Royal Parks Half Marathon 2021 · 10 October 2021 ·

This year, our team of RAID runners are taking to the streets of London in the Royal Parks Half Marathon. Supporting them will boost the fantastic work of African lawyers & activists to bring about justice and remedy for those who need it most.

Story

"I'm running to raise funds for frontline activists because what they do is essential to exposing and preventing violence and abuse perpetrated by multinational companies in their transnational operations and to efforts to secure redress for those harmed. Our work very much depends on such activists, whose efforts often put them at risk from both the companies and the security forces that the companies employ. We are incredibly fortunate to get to work with these individuals, and I'm very grateful to have the opportunity to raise funds to support them and their work." - Michael

Frontline activists and lawyers are exposing some of the world's worst examples of corporate abuse often at great risk. RAID, a UK-based corporate watchdog, works side-by-side with these local heroes in places such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, Chad and Tanzania to hold multinational companies to account for human rights abuses and environmental harm.

RAID's work in helping to hold companies to account would be impossible without them. They collect evidence about abuses by multinationals, act as the contact for those affected, and struggle through national courts against the power of corporate giants. Support us to bring about real change, justice and remedy.
